softlockup watchdog fixes and cleanups

This is a merge of commits a5f2ce3c and
43581a10 in mainline to fix a warning in
the 2.6.23.3 kernel release.

softlockup watchdog: style cleanups

kernel/softirq.c grew a few style uncleanlinesses in the past few
months, clean that up. No functional changes:

text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1126      76       4    1206     4b6 softlockup.o.before
1129      76       4    1209     4b9 softlockup.o.after

( the 3 bytes .text increase is due to the "<1>" appended to one of
the printk messages. )

softlockup: improve debug output

Improve the debuggability of kernel lockups by enhancing the debug
output of the softlockup detector: print the task that causes the lockup
and try to print a more intelligent backtrace.

The old format was:

BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1!
[<c0105e4a>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x19/0x2e
[<c0105f43>] show_trace+0x12/0x14
[<c0105f59>] dump_stack+0x14/0x16
[<c015f6bc>] softlockup_tick+0xbe/0xd0
[<c013457d>] run_local_timers+0x12/0x14
[<c01346b8>] update_process_times+0x3e/0x63
[<c0145fb8>] tick_sched_timer+0x7c/0xc0
[<c0140a75>] hrtimer_interrupt+0x135/0x1ba
[<c011bde7>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6e/0x80
[<c0105aa3>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x33/0x38
[<c0104f8a>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb
=======================

The new format is:

BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1! [prctl:2363]

Pid: 2363, comm:                prctl
EIP: 0060:[<c013915f>] CPU: 1
EIP is at sys_prctl+0x24/0x18c
EFLAGS: 00000213    Not tainted  (2.6.22-cfs-v20 #26)
EAX: 00000001 EBX: 000003e7 ECX: 00000001 EDX: f6df0000
ESI: 000003e7 EDI: 000003e7 EBP: f6df0fb0 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8
CR0: 8005003b CR2: 4d8c3340 CR3: 3731d000 CR4: 000006d0
[<c0105e4a>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x19/0x2e
[<c0105f43>] show_trace+0x12/0x14
[<c01040be>] show_regs+0x1ab/0x1b3
[<c015f807>] softlockup_tick+0xef/0x108
[<c013457d>] run_local_timers+0x12/0x14
[<c01346b8>] update_process_times+0x3e/0x63
[<c0145fcc>] tick_sched_timer+0x7c/0xc0
[<c0140a89>] hrtimer_interrupt+0x135/0x1ba
[<c011bde7>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6e/0x80
[<c0105aa3>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x33/0x38
[<c0104f8a>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb
=======================

Note that in the old format we only knew that some system call locked
up, we didnt know _which_. With the new format we know that it's at a
specific place in sys_prctl(). [which was where i created an artificial
kernel lockup to test the new format.]

This is also useful if the lockup happens in user-space - the user-space
EIP (and other registers) will be printed too. (such a lockup would
either suggest that the task was running at SCHED_FIFO:99 and looping
for more than 10 seconds, or that the softlockup detector has a
false-positive.)

The task name is printed too first, just in case we dont manage to print
a useful backtrace.
