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.
