Subject: [PATCH 18/24] jrcu: refactor watchdog code
jrcu: refactor watchdog code.
Much too complicated, simplify.
Also, don't use sched_clock(), we don't need that kind
of precision. Instead, on every jrcu wakeup, we add into
a watchdog counter one RCU_HZ worth of usecs and check that
against the limit. Another nice thing, if we spend a long
time in NMI (think 'kernel debugger'), this new watchdog
ctr won't increment, which is what we want to happen,
while the old sched_clock() method continues to advance.
Thus the sched_clock version is technically broken unless
compensating code is added.
