Subject: hung_task: dump blocker task if it is not hung
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2025 07:11:54 +0900

Dump the lock blocker task if it is not hung because if the blocker task
is also hung, it should be dumped by the detector.  This will de-duplicate
the same stackdumps if the blocker task is also blocked by another task
(and hung).
