Subject: [PATCH 1/4] tracing/workqueue: turn workfunc_stats::inserted into
 unsigned int

struct workfunc_stats is belong to per_cpu struct of cpu_workqueue_stats,
which means we only need to serialize its accessing from one cpu.

And because trace_workqueue_insertion() is already inside a section
protected by the cpu workqueue lock, we can safely convert it into an
unsigned int.

[ Impact: cleanup ]
