[patch 2/2] hung_task: add method to reset detector

[Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>]

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1949 bytes --]

In certain occasions it is possible for a hung task detector
positive to be false: continuation from a paused VM, for example.

Add a method to reset detection, similar as is done
with other kernel watchdogs.
