x86: fix boot crash in NMI watchdog with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y an…

…d flat APIC

fcef857 converted backtrace_mask to a
cpumask_var_t, and assumed check_nmi_watchdog was called before
nmi_watchdog_tick was ever called.  Steven's oops shows I was wrong.

This is something of a bandaid: I'm not sure we *should* be calling
nmi_watchdog_tick before check_nmi_watchdog.  Note that gcc eliminates
this test for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case.
