Subject: [PATCH -mm] extend sysrq-p functionality to cover all CPUs

SysRP-P is not all that useful on SMP systems, since the sysrq
irq rarely ends up on the CPU that we actually want to investigate.

This patch extends sysrq-p to print a backtrace for every CPU,
not just the lucky one that gets the sysrq irq.  With this patch,
"echo p > /proc/sysrq-trigger" does something useful.
