[PATCH] watchdog/softlockup:Fix incorrect CPU utilization output during softlockup

[yaozhenguo]

From: ZhenguoYao <yaozhenguo1@xxxxxxxxx>

Since we use 16-bit precision, the raw data will undergo
integer division, which may sometimes result in data loss.
This can lead to slightly inaccurate CPU utilization calculations.
Under normal circumstances, this isn’t an issue.  However,
when CPU utilization reaches 100%, the calculated result might
exceed 100%.  For example, with raw data like the following:

sample_period 400000134 new_stat 83648414036 old_stat 83247417494

sample_period=400000134/2^24=23
new_stat=83648414036/2^24=4985
old_stat=83247417494/2^24=4961
util=105%

Below log will output：

CPU#3 Utilization every 0s during lockup:
    #1:   0% system,          0% softirq,   105% hardirq,     0% idle
    #2:   0% system,          0% softirq,   105% hardirq,     0% idle
    #3:   0% system,          0% softirq,   100% hardirq,     0% idle
    #4:   0% system,          0% softirq,   105% hardirq,     0% idle
    #5:   0% system,          0% softirq,   105% hardirq,     0% idle

To avoid confusion, we enforce a 100% display cap when
calculations exceed this threshold.
