[PATCH RFC 2/2] rcu: add RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE to dump detailed per-task information

[Paul E. McKenney]

When RCU detects a grace-period stall, it currently just prints out the
PID of any tasks doing the stalling.  This patch adds RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE,
which enables the more-verbose reporting from sched_show_task().
