[PATCH v3 3/5] kernel/hung_task convert hung_task_panic boot parameter to sysctl

[Vlastimil Babka]

We can now handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line and have
infrastructure to convert legacy command line options that duplicate sysctl
to become a sysctl alias.

This patch converts the hung_task_panic parameter. Note that the sysctl handler
is more strict and allows only 0 and 1, while the legacy parameter allowed
any non-zero value. But there is little reason anyone would not be using 1.
