[PATCH v5 07/18] watchdog/perf: Rename watchdog_hld.c to watchdog_perf.c

The code currently in "watchdog_hld.c" is for detecting hardlockups
using perf, as evidenced by the line in the Makefile that only
compiles this file if CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is
defined. Rename the file to prepare for the buddy hardlockup detector,
which doesn't use perf.

It could be argued that the new name makes it less obvious that this
is a hardlockup detector. While true, it's not hard to remember that
the "perf" detector is always a hardlockup detector and it's nice not
to have names that are too convoluted.
