x86: fix boot crash in NMI watchdog with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y and flat APIC
fcef8576d8a64fc603e719c97d423f9f6d4e0e8b converted backtrace_mask to a
cpumask_var_t, and assumed check_nmi_watchdog was called before
nmi_watchdog_tick was ever called. Steven's oops shows I was wrong.
This is something of a bandaid: I'm not sure we *should* be calling
nmi_watchdog_tick before check_nmi_watchdog. Note that gcc eliminates
this test for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case.
[ Impact: fix boot crash in rare configs ]
