The following commit:

commit 27ec4407790d075c325e1f4da0a19c56953cce23
Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

    sched: make cpu_clock() globally synchronous
    
    Alexey Zaytsev reported (and bisected) that the introduction of
    cpu_clock() in printk made the timestamps jump back and forth.
    
    Make cpu_clock() more reliable while still keeping it fast when it's
    called frequently.
    
    Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

causes watchdog triggers when a cpu exits NOHZ state when it has been
there for >= the soft lockup threshold, for example here are some
messages from a 128 cpu Niagara2 box:

It's simple enough to trigger this by doing a 10 minute sleep after a
fresh bootup then starting a parallel kernel build.

I suspect this might be reintroducing a problem we've had and fixed
before, see the thread:

Please have a look, thank you.
