Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] samples: Add hung_task detector mutex blocking sample

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@...nel.org>

Add a hung_task detector mutex blocking test sample code.

This module will create a dummy file on the debugfs. That file will
cause the read process to sleep for enough long time (256 seconds)
while holding a mutex. As a result, the second process will wait on
the mutex for a prolonged duration and be detected by the hung_task
detector.

Usage is;

 > cd /sys/kernel/debug/hung_task
 > cat mutex & cat mutex

and wait for hung_task message.
