Please allow me to elaborate my previous concern about printing
freezable workqueue info only in this case.
The benefit of it is that debugger can quickly understand which
freezable workqueues block suspend flow and assign this issue to
corresponding owner instead of extracting freezable workqueue info from
show_workqueue_state() first and, then, assigning the issue.
Adding a flag to printout the info we need is great. Perhaps we can do
that. Thanks for the advice.
Sincerely,
Roger Lu.
