It turns out dump_file is used on a number of /proc and system files.
In one case, the read of a file stalled and caused a bugreport to
hang forever. It's still possible if there is a kernel bug that this
could stall forever, but less likely.
Also, change the return type of nanotime to uint64_t.
Testing:
- Created a named fifo and verified that dump_file fails with a timeout.
- Created a large /data/anr/traces.txt to verify that large files still
dump properly and that the additional NONBLOCK parameter doesn't cause
a problem.
- Created a dummy /data/tombstones/tombstone_00 to verify that the
dump of these files still works.
- Compared a dump using the old dumpstate to the new dumpstate to verify
nothing obviously different.

This option doesn't work with the current selinux protections and
doesn't serve much of a purpose. You can get the same results running
this:
dumpstate | gzip > /data/local/tmp/dump.txt.gz

for_each_pid only finds processes and not their threads. Add
for_each_tid and call it for show_wchan so we can see where all
threads are blocked in the kernel.
