watchdog, nmi: Lower the severity of error messages
During boot if the hardlockup detector fails to initialize, it complains very loudly. Some failures should be expected under certain situations, ie no lapics, or resource in-use. Tone those error messages down a bit. Keep the rest at a high level.
