x86_64: Fix to keep watchdog disabled by default for i386/x86_64
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fixed wrong expression which enabled watchdogs even if nmi_watchdog kernel
parameter wasn't set. This regression got slightly introduced with commit
b7471c6.

Introduced NMI_DISABLED (-1) which allows to switch the value of NMI_DEFAULT
without breaking the APIC NMI watchdog code (again).

Fixes:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7839
And likely some more nmi_watchdog=0 related issues.
