Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] workqueue: Fix rescuer task's name truncated

Task comm of task is limitted to 16, prefix "kworker/R-" is added for
rescuer worker's task, which cause most task name is truncated as
following:

root   81  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?   I<   11:18   0:00 [kworker/R-xprti]
root   82  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?   I<   11:18   0:00 [kworker/R-cfg80]
root   85  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?   I<   11:18   0:00 [kworker/R-nfsio]
root   86  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?   I<   11:18   0:00 [kworker/R-xfsal]
root   87  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?   I<   11:18   0:00 [kworker/R-xfs_m]
root   88  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?   I<   11:18   0:00 [kworker/R-acpi_]
root   93  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?   I<   11:18   0:00 [kworker/R-iscsi]
root   95  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?   I<   11:18   0:00 [kworker/R-scsi_]
root   97  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?   I<   11:18   0:00 [kworker/R-scsi_]
root   99  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?   I<   11:18   0:00 [kworker/R-scsi_]

I want to fix this issue by split rescuer name to 2 part like other
kworker, the normal part is "kworker/R" which is set to task_struct's comm,
another part is wq->name which is added to kworker's desc. These 2 parts
would be merged in wq_worker_comm().

The first patch fix the rescuer task's name truncated;
The second patch fix workqueue_struct's name truncated.

V2:
Add another patch to increased worker desc's length to 32 to fix compile
