The one-liner below will not work.
See the comment in edac_device_workq_setup() that explains why round
is used:
"
optimize here for the 1 second case, which will be normal value, to
fire ON the 1 second time event. This helps reduce all sorts of
timers firing on sub-second basis, while they are happy
to fire together on the 1 second exactly
"
So only the first schedule should be rounded.
But all other schedules after that should be 1000ms.
When rounding jiffs and saving it in edac_dev->delay it means that all
future schedules will not be with the correct delay.

The fix I suggested is the same logic used in:
 - edac_device_workq_setup()
 - edac_device_workq_function()
