From: Peter Zijlstra The lockup_detector_suspend/resume() interface is broken in several ways especially as it results in recursive locking of the CPU hotplug lock. Use the new stop/restart interface in the perf NMI watchdog to temporarily disable and reenable the already active watchdog events. That's enough to handle it.
