There will be no fixed relationship between worker thread and
workqueue, so it simply wouldn't be possible to give a specific name
to worker threads - much like we only have keventd for all the works
queued to the default workqueue for the current implementation.  As
long as stack trace can be extracted, I don't think it will hamper
with debugging too much.

Thanks.
