[PATCH v6 29/29] x86/tsc: Switch to perf-based hardlockup detector if TSC become unstable

[Ricardo Neri]

The HPET-based hardlockup detector relies on the TSC to determine if an
observed NMI interrupt was originated by HPET timer. Hence, this detector
can no longer be used with an unstable TSC.

In such case, permanently stop the HPET-based hardlockup detector and
start the perf-based detector.

Changes since v5:
 * Relocated the delcaration of hardlockup_detector_switch_to_perf() to
   x86/nmi.h It does not depend on HPET.
 * Removed function stub. The shim hardlockup detector is always for x86.

Changes since v4:
 * Added a stub version of hardlockup_detector_switch_to_perf() for
   !CONFIG_HPET_TIMER. (lkp)
 * Reconfigure the whole lockup detector instead of unconditionally
   starting the perf-based hardlockup detector.

Changes since v3:
 * None

Changes since v2:
 * Introduced this patch.

Changes since v1:
 * N/A
