It applies deep magic to make sure a pattern like mine is fine for
the lockdep lock name, but just uses it directly for the workqueue name.
Oddly enough the names seem to display correctly on my test systems
anyway.
Tejun, any chance to change alloc_workqueue to use the string pasting
trick also for the normal workqueue name, or even better add a varargs
version of alloc_workqueue?
