Subject[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/watchdog: prevent printk and send IPI while holding the wd lock
Date
When handling the Watchdog interrupt, long processing should not be done
while holding the __wd_smp_lock. This prevents the other CPUs to grab it
and to process Watchdog timer interrupts. Furhtermore, this could lead to
the following situation:

CPU x detect lockup on CPU y and grab the __wd_smp_lock
in watchdog_smp_panic()
CPU y caught the watchdog interrupt and try to grab the __wd_smp_lock
in soft_nmi_interrupt()
CPU x wait for CPU y to catch the IPI for 1s in __smp_send_nmi_ipi()
CPU x will timeout and so has spent 1s waiting while holding the
__wd_smp_lock.

A deadlock may also happen between the __wd_smp_lock and the console_owner
'lock' this way:
CPU x grab the console_owner
CPU y grab the __wd_smp_lock
CPU x catch the watchdog timer interrupt and needs to grab __wd_smp_lock
CPU y wants to print something and wait for console_owner
-> deadlock

Doing all the long processing without holding the _wd_smp_lock prevents
these situations.
