Each CPU should be monitored for hardlockups every watchdog_thresh seconds.
Since all the CPUs in the system are monitored by the same timer and the
timer interrupt is rotated among the monitored CPUs, the timer must expire
every watchdog_thresh/N seconds; where N is the number of monitored CPUs.

A new member is added to struct hpet_wdt_data to determine the per-CPU
ticks per second. This quantity is used to program the comparator of the
timer.

The ticks-per-CPU quantity is updated every time when the number of
monitored CPUs changes: when the watchdog is enabled or disabled for
a specific CPU.
