smp,csd: Throw an error if a CSD lock is stuck for too long
The CSD lock seems to get stuck in 2 "modes". When it gets stuck temporarily, it usually gets released in a few seconds, and sometimes up to one or two minutes. If the CSD lock stays stuck for more than several minutes, it never seems to get unstuck, and gradually more and more things in the system end up also getting stuck. In the latter case, we should just give up, so the system can dump out a little more information about what went wrong, and, with panic_on_oops and a kdump kernel loaded, dump a whole bunch more information about what might have gone wrong. In addition, there is an smp.panic_on_ipistall kernel boot parameter that by default retains the old behavior, but when set enables the panic after the CSD lock has been stuck for more than the specified number of milliseconds, as in 300,000 for five minutes.
