[PATCH] kernel/watchdog.c: Only output hw-PMU message once

[Prarit Bhargava]

When CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is enabled, the socket containing the
boot cpu can be replaced.  During the hot add event, the message

NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.

is output implying that the NMI was disabled at some point.  This is not the
case and the message has caused confusion for users of systems that support
socket removal.

This patch modifies the message so that it only outputs a single time
during runtime.
