Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/9] rcu: Dump specified number of blocked tasks

From: Neeraj Upadhyay <neeraju@...eaurora.org>

The dump_blkd_tasks() function dumps at most 10 blocked tasks, ignoring
the value of the ncheck parameter.  This commit therefore substitutes
the value of ncheck for the hard-coded value of 10.  Because all callers
currently pass 10 as the number, this patch does not change behavior,
but it is clearly an accident waiting to happen.
