watchdog/perf: adapt the watchdog_perf interface for async model
[ Upstream commit 930d8f8dbab97cb05dba30e67a2dfa0c6dbf4bc7 ]
When lockup_detector_init()->watchdog_hardlockup_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 and try to initialize the
watchdog once again later. The delayed probe is called using workqueues.
It need to allocate memory and must be proceed in a normal context. The
delayed probe is able to use if watchdog_hardlockup_probe() returns
non-zero which means the return code returned when PMU is not ready yet.
Provide an API - lockup_detector_retry_init() for anyone who needs to
delayed init lockup detector if they had ever failed at
lockup_detector_init().
The original assumption is: nobody should use delayed probe after
lockup_detector_check() which has __init attribute. That is, anyone uses
this API must call between lockup_detector_init() and
lockup_detector_check(), and the caller must have __init attribute
