job->sleep_timer is protected by block_job_mutex (via
block_job_lock/unlock); is it safe for us to check it here outside the
mutex?

But in any case, I think we could get rid of the timer_pending check, and
just always kick the job if we have a speed increase.  block_job_enter()
should do the right thing (mutex protected check on job->busy and
job->sleep_timer).
