Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tracing/workqueue: separate singlethreaded workqueues

When a singlethread thread is added on the list, it is
appended to the first cpu workqueues. This is a mistake because
singlethreaded workqueues are not bounded to specific cpu but
on all online cpus.

On their cpu column, we will now find a * character.

# CPU  INSERTED  EXECUTED   NAME

  0   1360       1360       events/0

Hmm, it looks like most of these workqueues are pointless :-)
