Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [lockup detector] sync touch_*_watchdog back to old semantics

During my rewrite, the semantics of touch_nmi_watchdog and
touch_softlockup_watchdog changed enough to break some drivers
(mostly over preemptable regions).

This change brings those touch_*_watchdog functions back in line
to how they used to work.
