Subject: [PATCH 2/3] workqueue, async: implement work/async_current_func()

Implement work/async_current_func() which query whether the current
task is a workqueue or async worker respectively and, if so, return
the current function being executed along with work / async item
related information.

This will be used to implement warning on synchronous request_module()
from async workers.
