In preparation for the buddy hardlockup detector, rename
touch_nmi_watchdog() to touch_hardlockup_watchdog() to make it clear
that it will touch whatever hardlockup detector is configured. We'll
add a #define for the old name (touch_nmi_watchdog) so that we don't
have to touch every piece of code referring to the old name.
Ideally this change would also rename the arch_touch_nmi_watchdog(),
but that is harder since arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() is exported with
EXPORT_SYMBOL() and thus is ABI. Add a comment next to the call to
hopefully alleviate some of the confusion here.
