Patch series "hung_task: Provide runtime reset interface for hung task
detector", v5.

This series introduces the ability to reset
/proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count.

Writing a zero value to this file atomically resets the counter of
detected hung tasks.  This functionality provides system administrators
with the means to clear the cumulative diagnostic history following
incident resolution, thereby simplifying subsequent monitoring without
necessitating a system restart.

The implementation uses atomic acquire/release semantics to ensure that
diagnostic metadata published by one CPU is correctly observed by the
monitoring thread on another CPU.


This patch (of 2):

Consolidate the multi-line console output block for reporting a hung task
into a new helper function, hung_task_diagnostics().  This improves
readability in the main check_hung_task() loop and makes the diagnostic
output structure easier to maintain and update in the future.
