[PATCH v2 2/2] arm64/watchdog_hld: Add a cpufreq notifier for update watchdog thresh

[Yicong Yang]

From: Yicong Yang <yangyicong at hisilicon.com>

arm64 depends on the cpufreq driver to gain the maximum cpu frequency
to convert the watchdog_thresh to perf event period. cpufreq drivers
like cppc_cpufreq will be initialized lately after the initializing of
the hard lockup detector so just use a safe cpufreq which will be
inaccurency. Use a cpufreq notifier to adjust the event's period to
a more accurate one.
