Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lockup_detector: convert cpu notifier to return encapsulate errno value

By the commit e6bde73b07edeb703d4c89c1daabc09c303de11f
("cpu-hotplug: return better errno on cpu hotplug failure"),
the cpu notifier can return encapsulate errno value.

This converts the cpu notifier to return encapsulate errno value
for lockup_detector.
