watchdog/hardlockup: Clean up hotplug locking mess
All watchdog thread related functions are delegated to the smpboot thread infrastructure, which handles serialization against CPU hotplug correctly. The sysctl interface is completely decoupled from anything which requires CPU hotplug protection. No need to protect the sysctl writes against cpu hotplug anymore. Remove it and add the now required protection to the powerpc arch_nmi_watchdog implementation.
