For now, soft lockup detector warns once for each case of process
softlockup. But the thread 'watchdog/n' may not always get the cpu at the
time slot between the task switch of two processes hogging that cpu to
reset soft_watchdog_warn.
An example would be two processes hogging the cpu. Process A causes the
softlockup warning and is killed manually by a user. Process B
immediately becomes the new process hogging the cpu preventing the
softlockup code from resetting the soft_watchdog_warn variable.
This case is a false negative of "warn only once for a process", as there
may be a different process that is going to hog the cpu. Resolve this by
saving/checking the task pointer of the hogging process and use that to
reset soft_watchdog_warn too.
