Dmitry, i sent Peter's fix(es) below to Linus. Do you concur that it
fixes all the practical and theoretical problems you could see with the
code too?

Subject: debug: softlockup looping fix
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>

Rafael J. Wysocki reported weird, multi-seconds delays during
suspend/resume and bisected it back to:

commit 82a1fcb90287052aabfa235e7ffc693ea003fe69
Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Jan 25 21:08:02 2008 +0100

softlockup: automatically detect hung TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks

fix it:

- restore the old wakeup mechanism
- fix break usage in do_each_thread() { } while_each_thread().
- fix the hotplug switch stmt, a fall-through case was broken.
