watchdog: Don't throttle the watchdog
Stephane reported that when the machine locks up, the regular ticks, which are responsible to resetting the throttle count, stop too.
Hence the NMI watchdog can end up being throttled before it reports on the locked up state, and we end up being sad..
Cure this by having the watchdog overflow reset its own throttle count.
