54c6ed7562 i386: use the right wrapper to disable the NMI watchdog
When disabled through /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog, the NMI watchdog uses the
stop() method directly, which does not decrement the activity counter, leading
to a BUG().  Use the wrapper function instead to fix that.

faa4cfa6b3 i386: fix NMI watchdog not reserving its MSRs
At system boot time, the NMI watchdog no longer reserved its MSRs, allowing
other subsystems to mess with them.  Fix that.

09198e6850 [PATCH] i386: Clean up NMI watchdog code
- Introduce a wd_ops structure
- Convert the various nmi watchdogs over to it
- This allows to split the perfctr reservation from the watchdog
setup cleanly.
- Do perfctr reservation globally as it should have always been
- Remove dead code referenced only by unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs
