Subject: [PATCH v7 15/24] x86/hpet: Reserve an HPET channel for the hardlockup detector

Create a new HPET_MODE_NMI_WATCHDOG mode category to reserve an HPET
channel for the hard lockup detector.

Only reserve the channel if the HPET frequency is sufficiently low to allow
32-bit register accesses and if Front Side BUS interrupt delivery (i.e.,
MSI interrupts) is supported.

Changes since v6:
 * Reworded the commit message for clarity.
 * Removed pointless global variable hld_data.

Changes since v5:
 * Added a check for the allowed maximum frequency of the HPET.
 * Added hpet_hld_free_timer() to properly free the reserved HPET channel
   if the initialization is not completed.
 * Call hpet_assign_irq() with as_nmi = true.
 * Relocated declarations of functions and data structures of the detector
   to not depend on CONFIG_HPET_TIMER.

Changes since v4:
 * Reworked timer reservation to use Thomas' rework on HPET channel
   management.
 * Removed hard-coded channel number for the hardlockup detector.
 * Provided more details on the sequence of HPET channel reservations.
   (Thomas Gleixner)
 * Only reserve a channel for the hardlockup detector if enabled via
   kernel command line. The function reserving the channel is called from
   hardlockup detector. (Thomas Gleixner)
 * Shorten the name of hpet_hardlockup_detector_get_timer() to
   hpet_hld_get_timer(). (Andi)
 * Simplify error handling when a channel is not found. (Tony)

Changes since v3:
 * None

Changes since v2:
 * None

Changes since v1:
 * None
