softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task
Impact: extend the scope of hung-task checks
Changed the default value of hung_task_check_count to PID_MAX_LIMIT.
hung_task_batch_count added to put an upper bound on the critical
section. Every hung_task_batch_count checks, the rcu lock is never
held for a too long time.
Keeping the critical section small minimizes time preemption is disabled
and keeps rcu grace periods small.
To prevent following a stale pointer, get_task_struct is called on g and t.
To verify that g and t have not been unhashed while outside the critical
section, the task states are checked.
The design was proposed by Frédéric Weisbecker.
