Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] powerpc/watchdog: introduce a NMI watchdog's factor

Introduce a factor which would apply to the NMI watchdog timeout.

This factor is a percentage added to the watchdog_tresh value. The value is
set under the watchdog_mutex protection and lockup_detector_reconfigure()
is called to recompute wd_panic_timeout_tb.

Once the factor is set, it remains until it is set back to 0, which means
no impact.
