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.

When panic is specified, panic when an NMI watchdog
timeout occurs.

default).
This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
need the box quickly up again.
