powerpc/watchdog: Make use of watchdog_nmi_probe()

The rework of the core hotplug code triggers the WARN_ON in start_wd_cpu() on powerpc because it is called multiple times for the boot CPU. The first call is via: start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0 watchdog_nmi_reconfigure+0x124/0x170 softlockup_reconfigure_threads+0x110/0x130 lockup_detector_init+0xbc/0xe0 kernel_init_freeable+0x18c/0x37c kernel_init+0x2c/0x160 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc And then again via the CPU hotplug registration: start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0 cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x194/0x620 cpuhp_thread_fun+0x7c/0x1b0 smpboot_thread_fn+0x290/0x2a0 kthread+0x168/0x1b0 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc This can be avoided by setting up the cpu hotplug state with nocalls and move the initialization to the watchdog_nmi_probe() function. That initializes the hotplug callbacks without invoking the callback and the following core initialization function then configures the watchdog for the online CPUs (in this case CPU0) via softlockup_reconfigure_threads().
