[PATCH V2] workqueue: watchdog: update wq_watchdog_touched for unbound lockup checking

From: Wang Qing
Date: Fri Mar 19 2021 - 04:02:12 EST


When touch_softlockup_watchdog() is called, only wq_watchdog_touched_cpu
updated, while the unbound worker_pool running on its core uses
wq_watchdog_touched to determine whether locked up. This may be mischecked.

My suggestion is to update both when touch_softlockup_watchdog() is called,
use wq_watchdog_touched_cpu to check bound, and use wq_watchdog_touched
to check unbound worker_pool.
