WorkStruct: Separate delayable and non-delayable events.

Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
the timer_list removed from work_struct.

The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness.  On a 64-bit
architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size.  This reduces that by half for the
non-delayable type of event.
