[PATCHv3 0/4] watchdog_hld cleanup and async model for arm64

[Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@gmail.com>]

Hard lockup detector is helpful to diagnose unpaired irq enable/disable.
But the current watchdog framework can not cope with arm64 hw perf event
easily.

On arm64, when lockup_detector_init()->watchdog_nmi_probe(), PMU is not
ready until device_initcall(armv8_pmu_driver_init).  And it is deeply
integrated with the driver model and cpuhp. Hence it is hard to push the
initialization of armv8_pmu_driver_init() before smp_init().

But it is easy to take an opposite approach by enabling watchdog_hld to
get the capability of PMU async. 
The async model is achieved by expanding watchdog_nmi_probe() with
-EBUSY, and a re-initializing work_struct which waits on a
wait_queue_head.

In this series, [1-2/4] are trivial cleanup. [3-4/4] is for this async
model.

v2 -> v3:
    check the delay work waken up and flush the work before __initdata is free.
    improve the commit log of [4/4]
    rebase to v5.15-rc5

v1 > v2:
    uplift the async model from hard lockup layer to watchdog layter.
The benefit is simpler code, the drawback is re-initialize means wasted
alloc/free.
