x86, NMI: Add back unknown_nmi_panic and nmi_watchdog sysctls
Originally adapted from Huang Ying's patch which moved the
unknown_nmi_panic to the traps.c file. Because the old nmi
watchdog was deleted before this change happened, the
unknown_nmi_panic sysctl was lost. This re-adds it.
Also, the nmi_watchdog sysctl was re-implemented and its
documentation updated accordingly.

+ Valid num: 0
0 - turn nmi_watchdog off
- 1 - use the IO-APIC timer for the NMI watchdog
- 2 - use the local APIC for the NMI watchdog using
- a performance counter. Note: This will use one
- performance counter and the local APIC's performance

When panic is specified, panic when an NMI watchdog
timeout occurs.
This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
need the box quickly up again.
- Instead of 1 and 2 it is possible to use the following
- symbolic names: lapic and ioapic
- Example: nmi_watchdog=2 or nmi_watchdog=panic,lapic
