hung_task: Display every hung task warning
When khungtaskd detects hung tasks, it prints out
backtraces from a number of those tasks.
Limiting the number of backtraces being printed
out can result in the user not seeing the information
necessary to debug the issue. The hung_task_warnings
sysctl controls this feature.
This patch makes it possible for hung_task_warnings
to accept a special value to print an unlimited
number of backtraces when khungtaskd detects hung
tasks.
The special value is -1. To use this value it is
necessary to change types from ulong to int.
