[PATCH v6 17/29] x86/hpet: Reserve an HPET channel for the hardlockup detector

[Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>]

The HPET hardlockup detector needs a dedicated HPET channel. Hence, create
a new HPET_MODE_NMI_WATCHDOG mode category to indicate that it cannot be
used for other purposes. Using MSI interrupts greatly simplifies the
implementation of the detector. Specifically, it helps to avoid the
complexities of routing the interrupt via the IO-APIC (e.g., potential
race conditions that arise from re-programming the IO-APIC while also
servicing an NMI). Therefore, only reserve the timer if it supports Front
Side Bus interrupt delivery.

HPET channels are reserved at various stages. First, from
x86_late_time_init(), hpet_time_init() checks if the HPET timer supports
Legacy Replacement Routing. If this is the case, channels 0 and 1 are
reserved as HPET_MODE_LEGACY.

At a later stage, from lockup_detector_init(), reserve the HPET channel
for the hardlockup detector. Then, the HPET clocksource reserves the
channels it needs and then the remaining channels are given to the HPET
char driver via hpet_alloc().

Hence, the channel assigned to the HPET hardlockup detector depends on
whether the first two channels are reserved for legacy mode.

Lastly, only reserve the channel for the hardlockup detector if enabled
in the kernel command line.

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
