workqueue: drop spurious '*' from print_worker_info() fn declaration
print_worker_info() declares its local 'fn' as work_func_t * but worker->current_func has type work_func_t (a function pointer). The extra level of indirection is wrong and only happens to be harmless today because every supported Linux architecture has sizeof(work_func_t) == sizeof(work_func_t *): copy_from_kernel_nofault() reads the correct number of bytes by accident, and %ps still resolves the printed address because the stored value is the function address regardless of declared type. On any future ABI where sizeof(void (*)()) differs from sizeof(void *), the nofault copy would transfer the wrong number of bytes and the subsequent %ps would print an incorrect address. Match the field type so the intent is explicit and the code does not silently rely on equal pointer sizes.
