watchdog: Fix print-once on enable
This patch avoids printing the message 'enabled on all CPUs, ...' multiple times. For example, the issue can occur in the following scenario: 1) watchdog_nmi_enable() fails to enable PMU counters and sets cpu0_err. 2) 'echo [0|1] > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog' is executed to disable and re-enable the watchdog mechanism 'on the fly'. 3) If watchdog_nmi_enable() succeeds to enable PMU counters, each CPU will print the message because step1 left behind a non-zero cpu0_err. if (!IS_ERR(event)) { if (cpu == 0 || cpu0_err) pr_info("enabled on all CPUs, ...") The patch avoids this by clearing cpu0_err in watchdog_nmi_disable().
