Subject: powerpc/watchdog: use sys_info_with_filter() to avoid duplicate backtraces
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 15:25:57 +0000

The powerpc watchdog prints all CPU backtraces itself.  When the watchdog
mask contains only SYS_INFO_ALL_BT, stripping that bit leaves zero and
sys_info(0) falls back to kernel_sys_info.

Use sys_info_with_filter() so an explicit all_bt mask does not request the
global default.
