watchdog/hpwdt: Disable NMI in Crash Kernel

Browse Source 
NMIs received during the crash path are problematic as hpwdt_pretimeout
handling of the NMI would cause a reentry into kdump.

The situation is complicated in that I/O errors can be signaled as NMI
circumventing hpwdt_pretimeout's attempt to not claim NMI not associated
with either the WDT or the iLO NMI switch.  These NMI can additionally
cause a secondary NMI which cause the system to hang.

By disabling pretimeout and hpwdtimeout in crash path we both reduce
the risk of receiving an NMI and simuletaneously leave the WDT running
(if it was already in use) to allow the WDT to break the system out of
hangs by the WDT reset.
