When I was running my testcase which may block hundreds of threads on fs
locks, I got lockup due to output from debug_show_all_locks() added by
commit b2d4c2ed ("locking/hung_task: Show all locks").

For example, if 1000 threads were blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state
and 500 out of 1000 threads hold some lock, debug_show_all_locks() from
for_each_process_thread() loop will report locks held by 500 threads for
1000 times.  This is a too much noise.

In order to make sure rcu_lock_break() is called frequently, we should
avoid calling debug_show_all_locks() from for_each_process_thread() loop
because debug_show_all_locks() effectively calls for_each_process_thread()
loop.  Let's defer calling debug_show_all_locks() till before panic() or
leaving for_each_process_thread() loop.
