powerpc/watchdog: Avoid holding wd_smp_lock over printk and smp_send_nmi_ipi

commit 76521c4

There is a deadlock with the console_owner lock and the wd_smp_lock:

CPU x takes the console_owner lock
CPU y takes a watchdog timer interrupt and takes __wd_smp_lock
CPU x takes a soft-NMI interrupt, detects deadlock, spins on __wd_smp_lock
CPU y detects deadlock, tries to print something and spins on console_owner
-> deadlock

Change the watchdog locking scheme so wd_smp_lock protects the watchdog
internal data, but "reporting" (printing, issuing NMI IPIs, taking any
action outside of watchdog) uses a non-waiting exclusion. If a CPU detects
a problem but can not take the reporting lock, it just returns because
something else is already reporting. It will try again at some point.

Typically hard lockup watchdog report usefulness is not impacted due to
failure to spewing a large enough amount of data in as short a time as
possible, but by messages getting garbled.

Laurent debugged this and found the deadlock, and this patch is based on
his general approach to avoid expensive operations while holding the lock.
With the addition of the reporting exclusion.
