    workqueue: Fix hung time report of worker pools
    
    [ Upstream commit 335a42ebb0ca8ee9997a1731aaaae6dcd704c113 ]
    
    The workqueue watchdog prints a warning when there is no progress in
    a worker pool. Where the progress means that the pool started processing
    a pending work item.
    
    Note that it is perfectly fine to process work items much longer.
    The progress should be guaranteed by waking up or creating idle
    workers.
    
    show_one_worker_pool() prints state of non-idle worker pool. It shows
    a delay since the last pool->watchdog_ts.
    
    The timestamp is updated when a first pending work is queued in
    __queue_work(). Also it is updated when a work is dequeued for
    processing in worker_thread() and rescuer_thread().
    
    The delay is misleading when there is no pending work item. In this
    case it shows how long the last work item is being proceed. Show
    zero instead. There is no stall if there is no pending work.
