kernel/watchdog.c: allow hardlockup to panic by default

Browse Source 
When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing
a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the
vmcore and reboot.  This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly
while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with.

Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic
by default.  Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

Say Y here to enable the kernel to panic on "hard lockups",
which are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
mode with interrupts disabled for more than 60 seconds.
Say N if unsure.
