arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() needs a different implementation for various
hardlockup detector implementations. And it does nothing when
any hardlockup detector is not build at all.

arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() has to be declared in linux/nmi.h. It is done
directly in this header file for the perf and buddy detectors. And it
is done in the included asm/linux.h for arch specific detectors.

The reason probably is that the arch specific variants build the code
using another conditions. For example, powerpc64/sparc64 builds the code
when CONFIG_PPC_WATCHDOG is enabled.

Another reason might be that these architectures define more functions
in asm/nmi.h anyway.

However the generic code actually knows the information. The config
variables HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH are used
to decide whether to build the buddy detector.

In particular, CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is set only when a generic
or arch-specific hardlockup detector is built. The only exception
is sparc64 which ignores the global HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR switch.

The information about sparc64 is a bit complicated. The hardlockup
detector is built there when CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set and
CONFIG_HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is not set.

People might wonder whether this change really makes things easier.
The motivation is:

  + The current logic in linux/nmi.h is far from obvious.
    For example, arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() is defined as {} when
    neither CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_COUNTS_HRTIMER nor
    CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is defined.

  + The change synchronizes the checks in lib/Kconfig.debug and
    in the generic code.

  + It is a step that will help cleaning HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG related
    checks.

The change should not change the existing behavior.

This looks right and is a nice cleanup.

Will fix in v2.
