When working commit 6dcd5d7a7a29c1e, a mistake was noticed by Linus: schedule_timeout() was called without setting the task state to anything particular. It calls the scheduler, but doesn't delay anything, because the task stays runnable. That happens because sched_submit_work() does nothing for tasks in TASK_RUNNING state. That turned out to be the intended behavior. Adding a WARN() is not useful as the task could be woken up right after setting the state and before reaching schedule_timeout(). Improve the comment about schedule_timeout() and describe that more explicitly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
