Subject: [PATCH] watchdog/softlockup: fix sample ring index wrap in
 need_counting_irqs()

cpustat_tail indexes cpustat_util[], which is a NUM_SAMPLE_PERIODS-sized
ring buffer. need_counting_irqs() currently wraps the index using
NUM_HARDIRQ_REPORT, which only happens to match NUM_SAMPLE_PERIODS.

Use NUM_SAMPLE_PERIODS for the wrap to keep the ring math correct even if
the NUM_HARDIRQ_REPORT or  NUM_SAMPLE_PERIODS changes.
