We should schedule the 5s "timer work" before starting the data transfer, otherwise, the data transfer code may finish so fast on another virtual cpu that when the code(fcopy_write()) trying to cancel the 5s "timer work" can occasionally fail because the "timer work" may haven't been scheduled yet and as a result the fcopy process will be aborted wrongly by fcopy_work_func() in 5s.
