watchdog/hardlockup: keep kernel.nmi_watchdog sysctl as 0444 if probe fails 

Patch series "watchdog: Cleanup / fixes after buddy series v5 reviews".

This patch series attempts to finish resolving the feedback received
from Petr Mladek on the v5 series I posted.

Probably the only thing that wasn't fully as clean as Petr requested was
the Kconfig stuff.  I couldn't find a better way to express it without a
more major overhaul.  In the very least, I renamed "NON_ARCH" to
"PERF_OR_BUDDY" in the hopes that will make it marginally better.

Nothing in this series is terribly critical and even the bugfixes are
small.  However, it does cleanup a few things that were pointed out in
review.


This patch (of 10):

The permissions for the kernel.nmi_watchdog sysctl have always been set at
compile time despite the fact that a watchdog can fail to probe.  Let's
fix this and set the permissions based on whether the hardlockup detector
actually probed.
