watchdog/softlockup: use printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() to serialize reporting

Instead of introducing a spinlock, use printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() and
printk_cpu_sync_put_irqrestore() to serialize softlockup reporting.  Alone
this doesn't have any real advantage over the spinlock, but this will
allow us to use the same function in a future change to also serialize
hardlockup crawls.

NOTE: for the most part this serialization is important because we often
end up in the show_regs() path and that has no built-in serialization if
there are multiple callers at once.  However, even in the case where we
end up in the dump_stack() path this still has some advantages because the
stack will be guaranteed to be together in the logs with the lockup
message with no interleaving.

NOTE: the fact that printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() is allowed to be called
multiple times on the same CPU is important here.  Specifically we hold
the "lock" while calling dump_stack() which also gets the same "lock". 
This is explicitly documented to be OK and means we don't need to
introduce a variant of dump_stack() that doesn't grab the lock.
