[PATCH tip/core/rcu 06/20] rcu: Call touch_nmi_watchdog() while printing stall warnings

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

When RCU stall warning triggers, it can print out a lot of messages
while holding spinlocks.  If the console device is slow (e.g. an
actual or IPMI serial console), it may end up triggering NMI hard
lockup watchdog like the following.

Avoid spuriously triggering NMI hardlockup watchdog by touching it
from the print functions.  show_state_filter() shares the same problem
and solution.

v2: Relocate the comment to where it belongs.
