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().
