watchdog/hardlockup: add a "cpu" param to watchdog_hardlockup_check()

In preparation for the buddy hardlockup detector where the CPU checking
for lockup might not be the currently running CPU, add a "cpu" parameter
to watchdog_hardlockup_check().

As part of this change, make hrtimer_interrupts an atomic_t since now the
CPU incrementing the value and the CPU reading the value might be
different.  Technially this could also be done with just READ_ONCE and
WRITE_ONCE, but atomic_t feels a little cleaner in this case.

While hrtimer_interrupts is made atomic_t, we change
hrtimer_interrupts_saved from "unsigned long" to "int".  The "int" is
needed to match the data type backing atomic_t for hrtimer_interrupts.
Even if this changes us from 64-bits to 32-bits (which I don't think is
true for most compilers), it doesn't really matter.  All we ever do is
increment it every few seconds and compare it to an old value so 32-bits
is fine (even 16-bits would be).  The "signed" vs "unsigned" also doesn't
matter for simple equality comparisons.

hrtimer_interrupts_saved is _not_ switched to atomic_t nor even accessed
with READ_ONCE / WRITE_ONCE.  The hrtimer_interrupts_saved is always
consistently accessed with the same CPU.  NOTE: with the upcoming "buddy"
detector there is one special case.  When a CPU goes offline/online then
we can change which CPU is the one to consistently access a given instance
of hrtimer_interrupts_saved.  We still can't end up with a partially
updated hrtimer_interrupts_saved, however, because we end up petting all
affected CPUs to make sure the new and old CPU can't end up somehow
read/write hrtimer_interrupts_saved at the same time.
