show_cpu_pool_hog() only prints workers whose task is currently running
on the CPU (task_is_running()). This misses workers that are busy
processing a work item but are sleeping or blocked — for example, a
worker that clears PF_WQ_WORKER and enters wait_event_idle(). Such a
worker still occupies a pool slot and prevents progress, yet produces
an empty backtrace section in the watchdog output.
This is happening on real arm64 systems, where
toggle_allocation_gate() IPIs every single CPU in the machine (which
lacks NMI), causing workqueue stalls that show empty backtraces because
toggle_allocation_gate() is sleeping in wait_event_idle().
Remove the task_is_running() filter so every in-flight worker in the
pool's busy_hash is dumped. The busy_hash is protected by pool->lock,
which is already held.
