Use a per-cpu 'wd_enabled' boolean and a global atomic_t count
of watchdog NMI enabled cpus which is set to '-1' if something
is wrong with the watchdog and it can't be used.

It all lives in the oprofile support code currently and we will need
to share this stuff with NMI watchdog and perf_counter support.

We use clock cycle counter, adjusted to HZ.
This can be extended to sun4v based processors as well, as they
also have a proper overflow interrupt facility for the performance
counters.

Quoting Randy:
"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.
However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
_one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

This patch adds profiling support to the sparc architecture. It is a
copy of the sparc64 implementation.
