Subject: [PATCH] watchdog/hardlockup: reassign last_timestamp when enable nmi event

last_timestamp is not initialized and is zero after boot, or stop
to forward when nmi watchdog is disabled; and false positives still
is possible when restart NMI timer after stopping 120 seconds

so reassign last_timestamp always when enable nmi event

Fixes: 7edaeb6841df ("kernel/watchdog: Prevent false positives with turbo modes")
