doc: watchdog: modify the doc related to "watchdog/%u"

"watchdog/%u" threads has be replaced by cpu_stop_work.  The current

= =================================
The soft lockup detector monitors CPUs for threads that are hogging the CPUs
without rescheduling voluntarily, and thus prevent the 'watchdog/N' threads
from running. The mechanism depends on the CPUs ability to respond to timer
interrupts which are needed for the 'watchdog/N' threads to be woken up by
the watchdog timer function, otherwise the NMI watchdog — if enabled — can
detect a hard lockup condition.
