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.

The old format was: 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.
