[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 82/85] watchdog: rename __touch_watchdog() to a better descriptive name

[ Upstream commit 7c0012f522c802d25be102bafe54f333168e6119 ]

Patch series "watchdog/softlockup: Report overall time and some cleanup", v2.

I dug deep into the softlockup watchdog history when time permitted this
year.  And reworked the patchset that fixed timestamps and cleaned up the
code[2].

I split it into very small steps and did even more code clean up.  The
result looks quite strightforward and I am pretty confident with the
changes.

[1] v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201210160038.31441-1-pmladek@xxxxxxxx
[2] v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191024114928.15377-1-pmladek@xxxxxxxx

This patch (of 6):

There are many touch_*watchdog() functions.  They are called in situations
where the watchdog could report false positives or create unnecessary
noise.  For example, when CPU is entering idle mode, a virtual machine is
stopped, or a lot of messages are printed in the atomic context.

These functions set SOFTLOCKUP_RESET instead of a real timestamp.  It
allows to call them even in a context where jiffies might be outdated.
For example, in an atomic context.

The real timestamp is set by __touch_watchdog() that is called from the
watchdog timer callback.

Rename this callback to update_touch_ts().  It better describes the effect
and clearly distinguish is from the other touch_*watchdog() functions.

Another motivation is that two timestamps are going to be used.  One will
be used for the total softlockup time.  The other will be used to measure
time since the last report.  The new function name will help to
distinguish which timestamp is being updated.
