workqueue: add to_delayed_work() helper function

It is a fairly common operation to have a pointer to a work and to need a
pointer to the delayed work it is contained in.  In particular, all
delayed works which want to rearm themselves will have to do that.  So it
would seem fair to offer a helper function for this operation.
