Subject: [PATCH v6 18/29] watchdog/hardlockup: Define a generic function to detect hardlockups

The procedure to detect hardlockups is independent of the underlying
mechanism that generates the non-maskable interrupt used to drive the
detector. Thus, it can be put in a separate, generic function. In this
manner, it can be invoked by various implementations of the NMI watchdog.

For this purpose, move the bulk of watchdog_overflow_callback() to the
new function inspect_for_hardlockups(). This function can then be called
from the applicable NMI handlers. No functional changes.
