Subject: kernel/watchdog.c: move hardlockup detector to separate file

From: Babu Moger <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 73ce0511c43686095efd2f65ef564aab952e07bc ]

Separate hardlockup code from watchdog.c and move it to watchdog_hld.c. It is mostly straight forward. Remove everything inside CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTORS. This code will go to file watchdog_hld.c. Also update the makefile accordigly.
