Subject: [PATCHv9 3/3] watchdog/softlockup: report the most frequent interrupts

When the watchdog determines that the current soft lockup is due
to an interrupt storm based on CPU utilization, reporting the
most frequent interrupts could be good enough for further
troubleshooting.

Below is an example of interrupt storm. The call tree does not
provide useful information, but we can analyze which interrupt
caused the soft lockup by comparing the counts of interrupts.

[  638.870231] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#9 stuck for 26s! [swapper/9:0]
[  638.870825] CPU#9 Utilization every 4s during lockup:
[  638.871194]  #1:   0% system,          0% softirq,   100% hardirq,     0% idle
[  638.871652]  #2:   0% system,          0% softirq,   100% hardirq,     0% idle
[  638.872107]  #3:   0% system,          0% softirq,   100% hardirq,     0% idle
[  638.872563]  #4:   0% system,          0% softirq,   100% hardirq,     0% idle
[  638.873018]  #5:   0% system,          0% softirq,   100% hardirq,     0% idle
[  638.873494] CPU#9 Detect HardIRQ Time exceeds 50%. Most frequent HardIRQs:
[  638.873994]  #1: 330945      irq#7
[  638.874236]  #2: 31          irq#82
[  638.874493]  #3: 10          irq#10
[  638.874744]  #4: 2           irq#89
[  638.874992]  #5: 1           irq#102
..
[  638.875313] Call trace:
[  638.875315]  __do_softirq+0xa8/0x364
