softlockup: automatically detect hung TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks
this patch extends the soft-lockup detector to automatically
detect hung TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks. Such hung tasks are
printed the following way:
------------------>
INFO: task prctl:3042 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message
prctl D fd5e3793 0 3042 2997

#1: (jbd_handle){--..}, at: [<c01ca3d2>] journal_start+0xc7/0xe9
<------------------
the current default timeout is 120 seconds. Such messages are printed
up to 10 times per bootup. If the system has crashed already then the
messages are not printed.
if lockdep is enabled then all held locks are printed as well.
this feature is a natural extension to the softlockup-detector (kernel
locked up without scheduling) and to the NMI watchdog (kernel locked up
with IRQs disabled).
