debug lockups: Improve lockup detection, fix generic arch fallback

As Andrew noted, my previous patch ("debug lockups: Improve lockup
detection") broke/removed SysRq-L support from architecture that do
not provide a __trigger_all_cpu_backtrace implementation.

Restore a fallback path and clean up the SysRq-L machinery a bit:

 - Rename the arch method to arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()

 - Simplify the define

 - Document the method a bit - in the hope of more architectures
   adding support for it.

[ The patch touches Sparc code for the rename. ]
