Ok, then I have question: Is the following pseudocode correct
(and problem is in lock validation which checks something
already initialized for another queue) or reusing work_struct
is not permitted from inside called work function ?

(Note comment in code "It is permissible to free the struct
work_struct from inside the function that is called from it".)

struct work_struct work;
struct workqueue_struct *a, *b;

do_b(*work) 
{
        /* do something else */
}

do_a(*work)
{
        /* do something */
        INIT_WORK(&work, do_b);
        queue_work(b, &work);
}


INIT_WORK(&work, do_a);
queue_work(a, &work);
