Don't trigger softlockup detector on network fs blocked tasks
Pulling the ethernet cable on a 2.6.27-rc system with NFS mounts currently leads to an ongoing flood of soft lockup detector backtraces for all tasks blocked on the NFS mounts when the hickup takes longer than 120s. I don't think NFS problems should be all that noisy. Luckily there's a reasonably easy way to distingush this case. Don't report task softlockup warnings for tasks in TASK_KILLABLE state, which is used by the network file systems. I believe this patch is a 2.6.27 candidate.
