This adds three new types of kernel "crashes" in the lkdtm
driver to trigger hardlockups, softlockups and task hung
states at will.

The two formers are useful to test the new generic lockup
detector and check its further regressions. The latter one
is a bonus to check the hung task detector regressions even
though it's not currently in rework.
