watchdog/perf: ensure CPU-bound context when creating hardlockup detector event
hardlockup_detector_event_create() should create perf_event on the current CPU. Preemption could not get disabled because perf_event_create_kernel_counter() allocates memory. Instead, the CPU locality is achieved by processing the code in a per-CPU bound kthread. Add a check to prevent mistakes when calling the code in another code path.
