[PATCH 0/5] watchdog_hld cleanup and async model for arm64

[Pingfan Liu]

hard lockup detector is helpful to diagnose unpaired irq enable/disable.
Sumit has tried with a series, and the last one is V5 [1].
Since it lasts a long time without any update, I takes a retry, which
addresses the delay intialization of watchdog_hld.

There is an obstacle to integrate arm64 hw perf event into watchdog_hld.
When lockup_detector_init()->watchdog_nmi_probe(), on arm64, PMU is not
ready until device_initcall(armv8_pmu_driver_init).  And it is deeply
integrated with the driver model and cpuhp. Hence it is hard to push
the initialization of armv8_pmu_driver_init() before smp_init().

But it is easy to take an opposite approach by enabling watchdog_hld to
get the capability of PMU async. The async model is achieved by
introducing an extra parameter notifier of watchdog_nmi_probe().

In this series, [1-2/5] are trivial cleanup. [3-5/5] is for this async
model.
