As a prerequisite, complement commit 3d1cb2059d ("workqueue: include
workqueue info when printing debug dump of a worker task") to be usable with
kernel modules by exporting the symbol set_worker_desc(). Current built-in
user was introduced with commit ef3b101925 ("writeback: set worker desc to
identify writeback workers in task dumps").
Can help distinguishing work items which do not have adapter scope.
Description is printed out with task dump for debugging on WARN, BUG, panic,
or magic-sysrq [show-task-states(t)].
Example:
$ echo 0 >| /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.1880/0x50050763031bd327/failed &
$ echo 't' >| /proc/sysrq-trigger
$ dmesg
sysrq: SysRq : Show State

Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:

Work items with adapter scope are already identified by the workqueue name
"zfcp_q_<devbusid>" and the work item function name.
