Subject: watchdog/softlockup: fix wrong output when watchdog_thresh < 3

When watchdog_thresh is below 3, sample_period will be less than 1 second.
So the following output will print when softlockup:

CPU#3 Utilization every 0s during lockup

Fix this by changing time unit from seconds to milliseconds.
