It's not the best way.

The "canonical" way to write timeout-like functions is to keep track
of a queue of timout requests, and have a thread whose job is to sleep
until the top item in the queue is ready, and then call its function.

I'm not certain what the semantics of the Linux schedule_timeout
kernel function are supposed to be, so exactly what the right
implementation is depend on that.
