workqueue: Fix false positive stall reports

On weakly ordered architectures (e.g., arm64), the lockless check in
wq_watchdog_timer_fn() can observe a reordering between the worklist
insertion and the last_progress_ts update. Specifically, the watchdog
can see a non-empty worklist (from a list_add) while reading a stale
last_progress_ts value, causing a false positive stall report.

This was confirmed by reading pool->last_progress_ts again after holding
pool->lock in wq_watchdog_timer_fn():

  workqueue watchdog: pool 7 false positive detected!
    lockless_ts=4784580465 locked_ts=4785033728
    diff=453263ms worklist_empty=0

To avoid slowing down the hot path (queue_work, etc.), recheck
last_progress_ts with pool->lock held. This will eliminate the false
positive with minimal overhead.

Remove two extra empty lines in wq_watchdog_timer_fn() as we are on it.
