       Ignore stolen time in the softlockup watchdog

broke the softlockup watchdog to never report any lockups. (!)

print_timestamp defaults to 0, this makes the following condition
always true:

	if (print_timestamp < (touch_timestamp + 1) ||

and we'll never report soft lockups.

apparently the functionality of the soft lockup watchdog was never 
actually tested with that patch applied ...

[ this is -stable material too. ]
