[RFC PATCH v5 05/16] watchdog/hardlockup: Decouple the hardlockup detector from perf

[Ricardo Neri]

The current default implementation of the hardlockup detector assumes that
it is implemented using perf events. However, the hardlockup detector can
be driven by other sources of non-maskable interrupts (e.g., a properly
configured timer).

Group and wrap in #ifdef CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF all the code
specific to perf: create and manage perf events, stop and start the perf-
based detector.

The generic portion of the detector (monitor the timers' thresholds, check
timestamps and detect hardlockups as well as the implementation of
arch_touch_nmi_watchdog()) is now selected with the new intermediate config
symbol CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_CORE.

The perf-based implementation of the detector selects the new intermediate
symbol. Other implementations should do the same.

Changes since v4:
 * None

Changes since v3:
 * Squashed into this patch a previous patch to make
   arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() part of the core detector code.

Changes since v2:
 * Undid split of the generic hardlockup detector into a separate file.
   (Thomas Gleixner)
 * Added a new intermediate symbol CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_CORE to
   select generic parts of the detector (Paul E. McKenney,
   Thomas Gleixner).

Changes since v1:
 * Make the generic detector code with CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.
