[patch V2 25/29] lockup_detector: Implement init time detection of perf

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Sep 12 2017 - 15:50:16 EST


Use the init time detection of the perf NMI watchdog to determine whether
the perf NMI watchdog is functional. If not disable it permanentely. It
won't come back magically at runtime.
