lockup_detector: Cross arch compile fixes

Combining the softlockup and hardlockup code causes watchdog.c
to build even without the hardlockup detection support.

So if an arch, that has the previous and the new nmi watchdog
implementations cohabiting, wants to know if the generic one
is in use, CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR is not a reliable check.
We need to use CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR instead.

Fixes:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `touch_nmi_watchdog':
(.text+0x449bc): multiple definition of `touch_nmi_watchdog'
arch/sparc/kernel/built-in.o:(.text+0x11b28): first defined here

lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector

The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very
similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's
suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file:
kernel/watchdog.c.

Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup
detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every
60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups.

To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I
implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event
overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is
most likely in trouble.

To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the
previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires.
If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the
warning is printed to the console.

I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths
work.

V2:
- cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination
- surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI
- seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem
- re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space
- added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases
- removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events

V3:
- comment cleanups
- drop support for older softlockup code
- per_cpu cleanups
- completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector
- use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection
- #ifdef cleanups
- rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR
- documentation additions

V4:
- documentation fixes
- convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var
- powerpc compile fixes

V5:
- split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups

TODO:
- figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call
(if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period

x86, apic: Introduce the NOOP apic driver

Introduce NOOP APIC driver. We should use it in case if apic was
disabled due to hardware of software/firmware problems (including
user requested to disable it case).

The driver is attempting to catch any inappropriate apic operation
call with warning issue.

Also it is possible to use some apic operation like IPI calls,
read/write without checking for apic presence which should make
callers code easier.
