Subject: watchdog/perf: add a weak function for an arch to detect if perf can use NMIs
Date: Fri, 19 May 2023 10:18:39 -0700

On arm64, NMI support needs to be detected at runtime.  Add a weak
function to the perf hardlockup detector so that an architecture can
implement it to detect whether NMIs are available.
