Move hung_task sysctl interface to hung_task_sysctl.c.
Use register_sysctl() to register the sysctl interface to avoid
merge conflicts when different features modify sysctl.c at the same time.

Why a separate file? That ends up needing changes to Makefile, the
creation of a new header file, etc. Why not just put it all into
hung_task.c directly?

But Luis Chamberlain's suggestion is to put the hung_task sysctl code in
a separate file. Details are in https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/13/762.
I am a little confused, not sure which way is better.
Thanks
