softlockup: ensure the task has been switched out once
When we check if a task has been switched out since the last scan, we might
have a race condition on the following scenario:
- the task is freshly created and scheduled
- it puts its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and is not yet switched out
- check_hung_task() scans this task and will report a false positive because
t->nvcsw + t->nivcsw == t->last_switch_count == 0
Add a check for such cases.
