<title>kernel/watchdog.c: convert {soft/hard}lockup boot parameters to sysctl aliases</title>

After a recent change introduced by Vlastimil's series [0], kernel is
able now to handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line; also, the
series introduced a simple infrastructure to convert legacy boot
parameters (that duplicate sysctls) into sysctl aliases.

This patch converts the watchdog parameters softlockup_panic and
{hard,soft}lockup_all_cpu_backtrace to use the new alias infrastructure.
It fixes the documentation too, since the alias only accepts values 0 or
1, not the full range of integers.

We also took the opportunity here to improve the documentation of the
previously converted hung_task_panic (see the patch series [0]) and put
the alias table in alphabetical order.

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

<title>watchdog/softlockup: Enforce that timestamp is valid on boot</title>

Robert reported that during boot the watchdog timestamp is set to 0 for one
second which is the indicator for a watchdog reset.

The reason for this is that the timestamp is in seconds and the time is
taken from sched clock and divided by ~1e9. sched clock starts at 0 which
means that for the first second during boot the watchdog timestamp is 0,
i.e. reset.

Use ULONG_MAX as the reset indicator value so the watchdog works correctly
right from the start. ULONG_MAX would only conflict with a real timestamp
if the system reaches an uptime of 136 years on 32bit and almost eternity
on 64bit.

commit 9cf57731b63e ("watchdog/softlockup: Replace "watchdog/%u" threads
 with cpu_stop_work") ensures that the watchdog is reliably touched during
a task switch.

As a result the check for an unnoticed task switch is not longer needed.

Remove the relevant code, which effectively reverts commit b1a8de1f5343
("softlockup: make detector be aware of task switch of processes hogging
cpu")

The rework of the watchdog core to use cpu_stop_work broke the watchdog
cpumask on CPU hotplug.

The watchdog_enable/disable() functions are now called unconditionally from
the hotplug callback, i.e. even on CPUs which are not in the watchdog
cpumask. As a consequence the watchdog can become unstoppable.

Only invoke them when the plugged CPU is in the watchdog cpumask.
