[PATCH 0/2] watchdog: pretimeout: Allow building dump governor as module

[Mayank Rungta via B4 Relay]

All other watchdog pretimeout governors (noop, panic) can be built as
loadable modules. However the "dump" pretimeout governor is restricted
to built-in code because it calls trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(), which
relies on arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace(), an arch specific helper that
is not exported to loadable modules.

This 2-patch series allows building the dump governor as a module (=m):
1) Export cpumask_backtrace() in lib/nmi_backtrace.c.
2) Convert CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_DUMP from bool to tristate.
