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

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

help
Say Y here to enable the kernel to panic on "hung tasks",
which are bugs that cause the kernel to leave a task stuck
in uninterruptible "D" state.
The panic can be used in combination with panic_timeout,
to cause the system to reboot automatically after a
hung task has been detected. This feature is useful for
high-availability systems that have uptime guarantees and
where a hung tasks must be resolved ASAP.
Say N if unsure.
