watchdog/softlockup: Replace "watchdog/%u" threads with cpu_stop_work
Oleg suggested to replace the "watchdog/%u" threads with
cpu_stop_work. That removes one thread per CPU while at the same time
fixes softlockup vs SCHED_DEADLINE.
But more importantly, it does away with the single
smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() user, which allows
cleanups/shrinkage of the smpboot interface.
