And probably there is another problem. Both watchdog_disable(cpu) and
watchdog_nmi_disable(cpu) assume that cpu == smp_processor_id(), this arg
is simply ignored.

but lockup_detector_offline_cpu(cpu) is called by cpuhp_invoke_callback(),
so in this case watchdog_disable(dying_cpu) is simply wrong.

May be we can do something like below? Then softlockup_stop_all() can simply do

for_each_cpu(cpu, &watchdog_allowed_mask)
watchdog_disable(cpu);

watchdog_nmi_disable() is __weak, but at first glance arch/sparc/kernel/nmi.c
does everything correctly.
