Subject: [PATCH 2/3] hung_task.c: change rcu_lock_break() code to use
 for_each_process_thread_break/continue

Change check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() to use the new helpers and remove
the "can_cont" logic from rcu_lock_break() which we will probably export
later for other users (show_state_filter).

We could add for_each_process_thread_break/continue right into rcu_lock_break()
but see the next patch.
