kernel/hung_task.c: defer showing held locks
When I was running my testcase which may block hundreds of threads on fs locks, I got lockup due to output from debug_show_all_locks() added by commit b2d4c2edb2e4 ("locking/hung_task: Show all locks"). For example, if 1000 threads were blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and 500 out of 1000 threads hold some lock, debug_show_all_locks() from for_each_process_thread() loop will report locks held by 500 threads for 1000 times. This is a too much noise. In order to make sure rcu_lock_break() is called frequently, we should avoid calling debug_show_all_locks() from for_each_process_thread() loop because debug_show_all_locks() effectively calls for_each_process_thread() loop. Let's defer calling debug_show_all_locks() till before panic() or leaving for_each_process_thread() loop.
