Tejun Heo cd42d559e4 kthread: implement probe_kthread_data()
One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool
to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes
each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing
on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG()
and friends.

For example, after writeback is converted to use workqueue instead of
priviate thread pool, there's no easy to tell which backing device a
writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, which,
according to our writeback brethren, is important in tracking down issues
with a lot of mounted file systems on a lot of different devices.

This patchset implements a way for a work function to mark its execution
instance so that task dump of the worker task includes information to
indicate what the work item was doing.

An example WARN dump would look like the following.

  ...

This patch:

Implement probe_kthread_data() which returns kthread_data if accessible.
The function is equivalent to kthread_data() except that the specified
@task may not be a kthread or its vfork_done is already cleared rendering
struct kthread inaccessible.  In the former case, probe_kthread_data() may
return any value.  In the latter, NULL.

This will be used to safely print debug information without affecting
synchronization in the normal paths.  Workqueue debug info printing on
dump_stack() and friends will make use of it.
