watchdog/hardlockup: keep kernel.nmi_watchdog sysctl as 0444 if probe fails
Patch series "watchdog: Cleanup / fixes after buddy series v5 reviews". This patch series attempts to finish resolving the feedback received from Petr Mladek on the v5 series I posted. Probably the only thing that wasn't fully as clean as Petr requested was the Kconfig stuff. I couldn't find a better way to express it without a more major overhaul. In the very least, I renamed "NON_ARCH" to "PERF_OR_BUDDY" in the hopes that will make it marginally better. Nothing in this series is terribly critical and even the bugfixes are small. However, it does cleanup a few things that were pointed out in review. This patch (of 10): The permissions for the kernel.nmi_watchdog sysctl have always been set at compile time despite the fact that a watchdog can fail to probe. Let's fix this and set the permissions based on whether the hardlockup detector actually probed.
