When CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is enabled, the socket containing the boot cpu can be replaced. During the hot add event, the message
NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter. is output implying that the NMI was disabled at some point. This is not the case and the message has caused confusion for users of systems that support socket removal. This patch modifies the message so that it only outputs a single time during runtime.
