alloc_workqueue() currently expects the passed in @name pointer to
remain accessible. This is inconvenient and a bit silly given that
the whole wq is being dynamically allocated. This patch updates
alloc_workqueue() and friends to take printf format string instead of
opaque string and matching varargs at the end. The name is allocated
together with the wq and formatted.
alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs
handling with alloc_workqueue(), and, while at it, add comment to
alloc_workqueue().
None of the current in-kernel users pass in string with '%' as
constant name and this change shouldn't cause any problem.

Christoph, you probably were seeing the rescuer_task->comm in ps
output. wq->name currently is currently only used for error
reporting.
I don't really mind this patch going through a different tree as I
don't have any other wq changes scheduled at this point, so please
feel free to route this through xfs or -mm.
Thank you.
