although the worker task state is running, due to the call schedule_timeout, the
current worker still possible to be switched out.
if set current worker task is no-running, the current worker be switched out, but
the schedule will call io_wq_worker_sleeping func to wake up free worker task, if
wqe->free_list is not empty.
