Subject: [PATCH 9/9] watchdog: introduce the hardlockup_detector_disable() function

From: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@...hat.com>

Have kvm_guest_init() use hardlockup_detector_disable()
instead of watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false).

Remove the watchdog_hardlockup_detector_is_enabled() and
the watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector() function which
are no longer needed.
