Subject: [PATCH v4 4/6] kernel/watchdog: Adapt the watchdog_hld interface for async model

When lockup_detector_init()->watchdog_nmi_probe(), PMU may be not ready
yet. E.g. on arm64, PMU is not ready until
device_initcall(armv8_pmu_driver_init).  And it is deeply integrated
with the driver model and cpuhp. Hence it is hard to push this
initialization before smp_init().

But it is easy to take an opposite approach and try to initialize
the watchdog once again later.
The delayed probe is called using workqueues. It need to allocate
memory and must be proceed in a normal context.
The delayed probe is able to use if watchdog_nmi_probe() returns
non-zero which means the return code returned when PMU is not ready yet.

Provide an API - retry_lockup_detector_init() for anyone who needs
to delayed init lockup detector if they had ever failed at
lockup_detector_init().

The original assumption is: nobody should use delayed probe after
lockup_detector_check() which has __init attribute.
That is, anyone uses this API must call between lockup_detector_init()
and lockup_detector_check(), and the caller must have __init attribute
