From: David Ahern <david.ahern@xxxxxxxxxx>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
[ Upstream commit 31aaa98c248da766ece922bbbe8cc78cfd0bc920 ]
With the increase in number of CPUs calls to functions that dump
output to console (e.g., arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace) can take
a long time to complete. If IRQs are disabled eventually the NMI
watchdog kicks in and creates more havoc. Avoid by telling the NMI
watchdog everything is ok.
