Subject: [PATCH] softlockup: re-increase hung tasks check from 2 minutes to
 8 minutes

 Commit e162b39a, which moved the soft lockup code around a bit,
 accidentally reverted commit fb822db4, which extended the soft lockup
 timeout from 2 minutes to 8 minutes.

 This patch restores it to 8 minutes.

 From the original patch:
 >Andrew says:
 >
 >> Seems that about 100% of the reports we get of this warning triggering
 >> are sys_sync, transaction commit, etc.
 >
 >increase the timeout. If it still triggers for people, we can kill it.
