IMHO, the namespace prefix makes sense here to distinguish hardlockup
and softlockup specific code. The original names did this as well
but they were another variants of the naming scheme mess.

IMHO, even longer prefix is better than a mess.

The code seems to only print the warning and dump a lot of debug
information. Both _warned or _processed look good to me.

I do not have strong opinion. Well, "allcpu" is another inconsistency
vs. "all_cpu" in sysctl_hardlockup_all_cpu_backtrace. So, it should
be "all_cpu_dumped".
