Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: Allow touch_nmi_watchdog() to be called by acpi_os_stall()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

acpi_os_stall() executes touch_nmi_watchdog() that, if
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is set,
uses __get_cpu_var() to access per-CPU variables.  This triggers the
stack dump in debug_smp_processor_id().

One way to avoid that is to use __raw_get_cpu_var() to access the
per-CPU variables in touch_nmi_watchdog().
