watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Implement init time perf validation
The watchdog tries to create perf events even after it figured out that perf is not functional or the requested event is not supported. That's braindead as this can be done once at init time and if not supported the NMI watchdog can be turned off unconditonally. Implement the perf hardlockup detector functionality for that. This creates a new event create function, which will replace the unholy mess of the existing one in later patches.
