workqueue: Add basic tracepoints to track workqueue execution
With the introduction of the new unified work queue thread pools,
we lost one feature: It's no longer possible to know which worker
is causing the CPU to wake out of idle. The result is that PowerTOP
now reports a lot of "kworker/a:b" instead of more readable results.
This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code,
similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints.
With this pair of tracepoints, the next PowerTOP can correctly
report which work item caused the wakeup (and how long it took):
Interrupt (43) i915 time 3.51ms wakeups 141
Work ieee80211_iface_work time 0.81ms wakeups 29
Work do_dbs_timer time 0.55ms wakeups 24
Process Xorg time 21.36ms wakeups 4
Timer sched_rt_period_timer time 0.01ms wakeups 1
