Subject: [PATCH] Revert "watchdog: Fix CPU hotplug regression"

This reverts commit 8d4516904b39507458bee8115793528e12b1d8dd.

commit 8d451690 ("watchdog: Fix CPU hotplug regression") cause
a hard lockup when I connect AC power on my laptop.  The indirect
reason is that laptop-mode-tools is configured to do

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

when AC power is disconnected and

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

when AC power is connected.  This is the default configuration of
the Debian laptop-mode-tools package.
