workqueue: add CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_WQ_STALL_PANIC option

Browse Source 
Add a kernel config option to set the default value of
workqueue.panic_on_stall, similar to CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC,
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HARDLOCKUP_PANIC and CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC.

This allows setting the number of workqueue stalls before triggering
a kernel panic at build time, which is useful for high-availability
systems that need consistent panic-on-stall, in other words, those
servers which run with CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_*_PANIC=y already.

The default remains 0 (disabled). Setting it to 1 will panic on the
first stall, and higher values will panic after that many stall
warnings. The value can still be overridden at runtime via the
workqueue.panic_on_stall boot parameter or sysfs.

Set the number of workqueue stalls to trigger a kernel panic.
A workqueue stall occurs when a worker pool doesn't make forward
progress on a pending work item for over 30 seconds (configurable
using the workqueue.watchdog_thresh parameter).
If n = 0, the kernel will not panic on stall. If n > 0, the kernel
will panic after n stall warnings.
The panic can be used in combination with panic_timeout,
to cause the system to reboot automatically after a
stall has been detected. This feature is useful for
high-availability systems that have uptime guarantees and
where a stall must be resolved ASAP.
This setting can be overridden at runtime via the
workqueue.panic_on_stall kernel parameter.
