Subject: [PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 145/156] sparc: Touch NMI watchdog when walking cpus and calling printk

3.13.11-ckt19 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Ahern <david.ahern@...cle.com>

[ Upstream commit 31aaa98c248da766ece922bbbe8cc78cfd0bc920 ]

With the increase in number of CPUs calls to functions that dump
output to console (e.g., arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace) can take
a long time to complete. If IRQs are disabled eventually the NMI
watchdog kicks in and creates more havoc. Avoid by telling the NMI
watchdog everything is ok.
