Currently we do not have a way to enable/disable arch specific
watchdog handlers if it was implemented by any of the architectures.

This patch introduces new function update_arch_nmi_watchdog
which can be used to enable/disable architecture specific NMI
watchdog handlers. Also exposes watchdog_enabled variable outside
so that arch specific nmi watchdogs can use it to implement
enalbe/disable behavour.

The extern is within an #ifdef, but the definition later is
valid alway.
So extern definition should be outside the #ifdef to match the
actual implementation.

To manipulate / read watchdog_enabled two constants are used: 
NMI_WATCHDOG_ENABLED, SOFT_WATCHDOG_ENABLED

They should be visible too, so uses do not fall into the trap
and uses constants (like in patch 2).

      Ok. Sure.

     Sure. I will bring these definitions to nmi.h from watchdog.c

     Will re-post v2 version with these changes. Thanks for the comments.
