Subject: [PATCH 2/3 v2] nmi_watchdog: new implementation using perf events

This is a new generic nmi_watchdog implementation using the perf events
infrastructure as suggested by Ingo.

The implementation is simple, just create an in-kernel perf event and register
an overflow handler to check for cpu lockups.  I created a generic implementation
that lives in kernel/ and the hardware specific part that for now lives in arch/x86.

I have done light testing to make sure the framework works correctly and it does.

v2:  sets the correct timeout values based on the old nmi watchdog
