Subject: [PATCH 1/5] tracing/workqueue: get rid of searching last executed worklet in probe_worklet_complete()

From: Zhaolei <zhaolei@...fujitsu.com>

We don't need to search the worklet which was latest executed
inside the workqueue's worklet list.

Instead, we can use a pointer in cpu_workqueue_stats to remember
which worklet was last executed.

Thanks Oleg for pointing it out.

Changelog:
v1->v2: Oleg pointed out that if searching executed workfunc_stats failed
in probe_worklet_execute(), for example, workfunc_stats's memory allocation
failed previously, cpu_workqueue_stats->last_workfunc is not set to correct
value, and it will cause wrong accessing in probe_worklet_complete().
This problem is fixed in v2.

[ Impact: make worklet tracing faster ]
