sched/debug: Fix cgroup_path[] serialization

The handling of sysrq key can be activated by echoing the key to
/proc/sysrq-trigger or via the magic key sequence typed into a terminal
that is connected to the system in some way (serial, USB or other mean).
In the former case, the handling is done in a user context. In the
latter case, it is likely to be in an interrupt context.

Currently in print_cpu() of kernel/sched/debug.c, sched_debug_lock is
taken with interrupt disabled for the whole duration of the calls to
print_*_stats() and print_rq() which could last for the quite some time
if the information dump happens on the serial console.

If the system has many cpus and the sched_debug_lock is somehow busy
(e.g. parallel sysrq-t), the system may hit a hard lockup panic
depending on the actually serial console implementation of the
system.

The purpose of sched_debug_lock is to serialize the use of the global
cgroup_path[] buffer in print_cpu(). The rests of the printk calls don't
need serialization from sched_debug_lock.

Calling printk() with interrupt disabled can still be problematic if
multiple instances are running. Allocating a stack buffer of PATH_MAX
bytes is not feasible because of the limited size of the kernel stack.

The solution implemented in this patch is to allow only one caller at a
time to use the full size group_path[], while other simultaneous callers
will have to use shorter stack buffers with the possibility of path
name truncation. A "..." suffix will be printed if truncation may have
happened.  The cgroup path name is provided for informational purpose
only, so occasional path name truncation should not be a big problem.
