watchdog/core: Rework CPU hotplug locking 

The watchdog proc interface causes extensive recursive locking of the CPU
hotplug percpu rwsem, which is deadlock prone.

Replace the get/put_online_cpus() pairs with cpu_hotplug_disable()/enable()
calls for now. Later patches will remove that requirement completely.
