softlockup: decouple hung tasks check from softlockup detection
Decoupling allows: * hung tasks check to happen at very low priority * hung tasks check and softlockup to be enabled/disabled independently at compile and/or run-time * individual panic settings to be enabled disabled independently at compile and/or run-time * softlockup threshold to be reduced without increasing hung tasks poll frequency (hung task check is expensive relative to softlock watchdog) * hung task check to be zero over-head when disabled at run-time Signed-off-by: Mandeep Singh Baines <msb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

194 Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "hung tasks",
195 which are bugs that cause the task to be stuck in
196 uninterruptible "D" state indefinitiley.
197
198 When a hung task is detected, the kernel will print the
199 current stack trace (which you should report), but the
200 task will stay in uninterruptible state. If lockdep is
201 enabled then all held locks will also be reported. This
202 feature has negligible overhead.

208 Say Y here to enable the kernel to panic on "hung tasks",

210 in uninterruptible "D" state.
211
212 The panic can be used in combination with panic_timeout,
213 to cause the system to reboot automatically after a
214 hung task has been detected. This feature is useful for
215 high-availability systems that have uptime guarantees and
216 where a hung tasks must be resolved ASAP.
