Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:

- Improve workqueue stall diagnostics: dump all busy workers (not just
running ones), show wall-clock duration of in-flight work items, and
add a sample module for reproducing stalls

- Fix POOL_BH vs WQ_BH flag namespace mismatch in pr_cont_worker_id()

- Rename pool->watchdog_ts to pool->last_progress_ts and related
functions for clarity

workqueue: Add stall detector sample module

Add a sample module under samples/workqueue/stall_detector/ that
reproduces a workqueue stall caused by PF_WQ_WORKER misuse. The
module queues two work items on the same per-CPU pool, then clears
PF_WQ_WORKER and sleeps in wait_event_idle(), hiding from the
concurrency manager and stalling the second work item indefinitely.

This is useful for testing the workqueue watchdog stall diagnostics.
