llkd: Add __get_user_page stack symbol checking
Add ro.llk.stack to list a set of symbols that should rarely happen but if persistent in multiple checks, indicates a live lock condition. At ro.llk.stack.timeout_ms the process is sent a kill, if it remains, then panic the kernel. There is no ABA detection in the paths, the condition for the stack symbol being present instantaneously must be its rarity of being caught. If a livelock occurs in the path of the symbol, then it is possible more than one path could be stuck in the state, but the best candidate symbols are found underneath a lock resulting in only one process being the culprit, and the best aim. There may be processes that induce a look of persistence, if so the symbol is not a candidate for checking. The current candidate is __get_user_pages, after mm is locked, should be a very short reference to look up a page, but can be longer term if starved, or a condition causes a conflicting loop.
