softlockup: allow panic on lockup
allow users to configure the softlockup detector to generate a panic
instead of a warning message.
high-availability systems might opt for this strict method (combined
with panic_timeout= boot option/sysctl), instead of generating
softlockup warnings ad infinitum.
also, automated tests work better if the system reboots reliably (into
a safe kernel) in case of a lockup.
The full spectrum of configurability is supported: boot option, sysctl
option and Kconfig option.
it's default-disabled.
