workqueue: Rename rescuer kworker

Each CPU-specific and unbound kworker kthread conforms to a particular
naming scheme. However, this does not extend to the rescuer kworker.
At present, a rescuer kworker is simply named according to its
workqueue's name. This can be cryptic.

This patch modifies a rescuer to follow the kworker naming scheme.
The "R" is indicative of a rescuer and after "-" is its workqueue's
name e.g. "kworker/R-ext4-rsv-conver".

tj: Use "R" instead of "r" as the prefix to make it more distinctive and
    consistent with how highpri pools are marked.
