When lockup_detector_init()->watchdog_nmi_probe(), PMU may be not ready
yet. E.g. on arm64, 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 this
initialization 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.
