Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] watchdog/softlockup: Fix softlockup_stop_all() hungtask bug

If NR_CPUS equal to 1, it would trigger hungtask, it can be
triggered by follow command:
	echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog
	echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog
The hungtask stack:
	__schedule
	schedule
	schedule_timeout
	__wait_for_common
	softlockup_stop_fn
	lockup_detector_reconfigure
	proc_watchdog_common
	proc_watchdog
	proc_sys_call_handler
	vfs_write
	ksys_write
The watchdog_allowed_mask is completely cleared when the
watchdog is disabled. But the macro for_each_cpu() assume
all masks are "1" when macro NR_CPUS equal to 1. It makes
watchdog_allowed_mask not work at all.

Fixes: be45bf5395e0 ("watchdog/softlockup: Fix cpu_stop_queue_work() double-queue bug")
