CONFIG_TEST_LOCKUP=m adds module "test_lockup" that helps to make sure
that watchdogs and lockup detectors are working properly.

Depending on module parameters test_lockup could emulate soft or hard
lockup, "hung task", hold arbitrary lock, allocate bunch of pages.

Also it could generate series of lockups with cooling-down periods, in
this way it could be used as "ping" for locks or page allocator.  Loop
checks signals between iteration thus could be stopped by ^C.
