Impact: fix potential false panic

A potential race exists if sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs is reset to 0
while inside check_hung_uniterruptible_tasks(). If check_task() is
entered, a comparison with 0 will result in a false hung_task being
detected.

If sysctl_hung_task_panic is set, the system will panic.
