The error message 'NMI watchdog failed to create perf event...'
does not make it clear that this is a fatal error for the
watchdog. It also currently prints the error value as a
pointer, rather than extracting the error code with PTR_ERR().
Fix that.
Add a note to the description of the 'nowatchdog' kernel
parameter to associate it with this message.
