kernel/watchdog.c: allow hardlockup to panic by default
When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing
a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the
vmcore and reboot. This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly
while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with.
Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic
by default. Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.
