[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 154/165] sparc: Touch NMI watchdog when walking cpus and calling printk

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Ahern <david.ahern@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 31aaa98c248da766ece922bbbe8cc78cfd0bc920 upstream.

With the increase in number of CPUs calls to functions that dump
output to console (e.g., arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace) can take
a long time to complete. If IRQs are disabled eventually the NMI
watchdog kicks in and creates more havoc. Avoid by telling the NMI
watchdog everything is ok.
