I'd keep it simple and go with:

"
hung_task: always print the blocked-task line

Once the warning budget is exhausted, hung_task_info() stops printing any
per-task message. Detection still increments hung_task_detect_count and
emits trace_sched_process_hang(), but dmesg no longer shows which task is
blocked.

Move the "INFO: task ... blocked" line outside the budget check. Keep the
rest of the per-task report budgeted and update the exhaustion message
accordingly.
