As we already used hld internally for arm64 since 2020, there still
doesn't have a proper commit on the upstream and we badly need it.

This serise rebase on 5.17-rc3 from [1] and the origin author is
Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@gmail.com>
Sumit Garg <sumit.garg@linaro.org>

[1] wasn't reviewed for its patch v3, I'll take over the further development
for this.


Qoute from [1]:

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.
