Inhibit NMI watchdog when Alt-SysRq-T operation is underway

Browse source 
On large memory configuration with not so fast CPUs the NMI watchdog is
triggered when memory addresses are being gathered and printed.  The code
paths for Alt-SysRq-t are sprinkled with touch_nmi_watchdog in various
places but not in this routine (or in the loop that utilizes this
function).  The patch has been tested for regression on large CPU+memory
configuration (128 logical CPUs + 224 GB) and 1,2,4,16-CPU sockets with
various memory sizes (1,2,4,6,20).
