Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 09/21] x86/nmi: Add a NMI_WATCHDOG NMI handler category

Add a NMI_WATCHDOG as a new category of NMI handler. This new category
is to be used with the HPET-based hardlockup detector. This detector
does not have a direct way of checking if the HPET timer is the source of
the NMI. Instead it indirectly estimate it using the time-stamp counter.

Therefore, we may have false-positives in case another NMI occurs within
the estimated time window. For this reason, we want the handler of the
detector to be called after all the NMI_LOCAL handlers. A simple way
of achieving this with a new NMI handler category.
