Feng Tang 8b2b9b4f6f hung_task: add hung_task_sys_info sysctl to dump sys info on task-hung ...

When task-hung happens, developers may need different kinds of system
information (call-stacks, memory info, locks, etc.) to help debugging.

Add 'hung_task_sys_info' sysctl knob to take human readable string like
"tasks,mem,timers,locks,ftrace,...", and when task-hung happens, all
requested information will be dumped.  (refer kernel/sys_info.c for more
details).

Meanwhile, the newly introduced sys_info() call is used to unify some
existing info-dumping knobs.
