watchdog, nmi: Lower the severity of error messages 

During boot if the hardlockup detector fails to initialize, it
complains very loudly.  Some failures should be expected under
certain situations, ie no lapics, or resource in-use.  Tone
those error messages down a bit.  Keep the rest at a high level.
