nmi_watchdog: Config option to enable new nmi_watchdog 

These are the bits that enable the new nmi_watchdog and safely
isolate the old nmi_watchdog.  Only one or the other can run,
not both at the same time.

config NMI_WATCHDOG
bool "Detect Hard Lockups with an NMI Watchdog"

default y
help
Say Y here to enable the kernel to use the NMI as a watchdog
to detect hard lockups. This is useful when a cpu hangs for no
reason but can still respond to NMIs. A backtrace is displayed
for reviewing and reporting.
The overhead should be minimal, just an extra NMI every few
seconds.
