Unfortunately this is hitting the WARN_ON in start_wd_cpu() on powerpc
because we're calling it multiple times for the boot CPU.

The first call is via:

  start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0
  watchdog_nmi_reconfigure+0x124/0x170
  softlockup_reconfigure_threads+0x110/0x130
  lockup_detector_init+0xbc/0xe0
  kernel_init_freeable+0x18c/0x37c
  kernel_init+0x2c/0x160
  ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc

And then again via the CPU hotplug registration:

  start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0
  cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x194/0x620
  cpuhp_thread_fun+0x7c/0x1b0
  smpboot_thread_fn+0x290/0x2a0
  kthread+0x168/0x1b0
  ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc


The first call is new because previously watchdog_nmi_reconfigure()
wasn't called from softlockup_reconfigure_threads().

I'm not sure what the easiest fix is. One option would be to just drop
the WARN_ON, it's just there for paranoia AFAICS.

cheers
