Subject: [PATCH] Add the word 'Warning' in check_nmi_watchdog() output

Our automated test suite looks for keywords like error, fail, warning in the
boot log.  In the case when the nmi watchdog is determined to be stuck in
check_nmi_watchdog(), none of those keywords are displayed.

This patch adds a keyword, 'Warning, so it makes it easier to notice when the nmi
watchdog isn't working correctly.

No technical changes have been made.  Compiler tested.
