clocksource: Make watchdog reset lockless

KGDB needs to trylock watchdog_lock when trying to reset the
clocksource watchdog after the system has been stopped to avoid a
potential deadlock. When the trylock fails TSC usually becomes
unstable.

We can be more clever by using an atomic counter and checking it in
the clocksource_watchdog callback. We restart the watchdog whenever
the counter is > 0 and only decrement the counter when we ran through
a full update cycle.
