[PATCH v2] hung_task: update DETECT_HUNG_TASK_BLOCKER Kconfig help

From: Xibo Wang

Date: Thu Jul 30 2026 - 02:26:19 EST


The help text still says the feature only covers mutexes, but blocker
tracking has since been extended to semaphores and rwsems. Update the
description to match the supported lock types.
