[PATCH v6 28/29] x86/tsc: Restart NMI watchdog after refining tsc_khz

[Ricardo Neri]

The HPET hardlockup detector relies on tsc_khz to estimate the value of
that the TSC will have when its HPET channel fires. A refined tsc_khz
helps to estimate better the expected TSC value.

Using the early value of tsc_khz may lead to a large error in the expected
TSC value. Restarting the NMI watchdog detector has the effect of kicking
its HPET channel and make use of the refined tsc_khz.

When the HPET hardlockup is not in use, restarting the NMI watchdog is
a noop.
