Something like workqueue_empty/count() could not be implemented in the caller
without violating of the API.

workqueue_wait() could be useful for those who use workqueue_destroy().
Currently, only sysmon_envsys uses and implements it "outside".
Also, I think it could be useful for handling the finish of work, let's say
in asynchronous I/O.

Of course, it is not a necessity, at this moment. Perhaps one could implement
it only if there will be a concrete need.
