watchdog: explicitly update timestamp when reporting softlockup
The softlockup situation might stay for a long time or even forever. When
it happens, the softlockup debug messages are printed in regular intervals
defined by get_softlockup_thresh().
There is a mystery. The repeated message is printed after the full
interval that is defined by get_softlockup_thresh(). But the timer
callback is called more often as defined by sample_period. The code looks
like the soflockup should get reported in every sample_period when it was
once behind the thresh.
It works only by chance. The watchdog is touched when printing the stall
report, for example, in printk_stack_address().
Make the behavior clear and predictable by explicitly updating the
timestamp in watchdog_timer_fn() when the report gets printed.
