hung_task: increment the global counter immediately

hung_task: increment the global counter immediately

A recent change allowed to reset the global counter of hung tasks using
the sysctl interface.  A potential race with the regular check has been
solved by updating the global counter only once at the end of the check.

However, the hung task check can take a significant amount of time,
particularly when task information is being dumped to slow serial
consoles.  Some users monitor this global counter to trigger immediate
migration of critical containers.  Delaying the increment until the full
check completes postpones these high-priority rescue operations.

Update the global counter as soon as a hung task is detected.  Since the
value is read asynchronously, a relaxed atomic operation is sufficient.
