Yeah, the per-queue timeout timer is never canceled after request is
completed, so most of times the timeout work does nothing.

Can we run the sync RCU only if there is timed out request found? Then
the wait is only needed in case that timeout handling is required. Also
sync rcu is already done in some driver's ->timeout().
