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

Another thing is that it seems like having introspection type
interface often lead to abuses - work_pending(), work_busy() both
ended up bringing more unnecessary dependencies and subtle bugginess
on internal details than actual benefits. Querying %current is much
less likely to be harmful in itself but I'm afraid it might encourage
its users to develop something crazy on top. It might be a good idea
to make it only available to async.

Thanks.
