watchdog/perf: more properly prevent false positives with turbo modes

[ Upstream commit 4379e59fe5665cfda737e45b8bf2f05321ef049c ]

Currently, in the watchdog_overflow_callback() we first check to see if
the watchdog had been touched and _then_ we handle the workaround for
turbo mode.  This order should be reversed.

Specifically, "touching" the hardlockup detector's watchdog should avoid
lockups being detected for one period that should be roughly the same
regardless of whether we're running turbo or not.  That means that we
should do the extra accounting for turbo _before_ we look at (and clear)
the global indicating that we've been touched.

NOTE: this fix is made based on code inspection.  I am not aware of any
reports where the old code would have generated false positives.  That
being said, this order seems more correct and also makes it easier down
the line to share code with the "buddy" hardlockup detector.
