[PATCH 1/6 v2] task_work: Provide means to check if a work is queued

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Some task work users implement their own ways to know if a callback is
already queued on the current task while fiddling with the callback
head internals.

Provide instead a consolidated API to serve this very purpose.
