if you build with CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=n it wont link:

  LD      init/built-in.o
arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `fixup_ht_bug':
/root/linux/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel.c:3267: undefined reference to `watchdog_nmi_disable_all'
/root/linux/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel.c:3275: undefined reference to `watchdog_nmi_enable_all'

I think you need watchdog_nmi_(enable|disable)_all stubs out of kernel/watchdog.c
