In the course of the recent unification of the NMI watchdog an assignment
to timer_ack to switch off unnecesary POLL commands to the 8259A in the
case of a watchdog failure has been accidentally removed. The statement
used to be limited to the 32-bit variation as since the rewrite of the
timer code it has been relevant for the 82489DX only. This change brings
it back.

There is no need to keep NMI_DISABLED definition and use it
for nmi_watchdog by default. Here is the point why:
- IO-APIC and APIC chips are programmed for nmi_watchdog support at very
early stage of kernel booting and not having nmi_watchdog specified as
boot option lead only to nmi_watchdog becomes to NMI_NONE anyway
- enable nmi_watchdog thru /proc/sys/kernel/nmi if it was not specified at
boot is not possible too (even having this sysfs entry)

Since nmi_watchdog is unsigned variable we may
safely remove the check for negative value.

The checking 'if nmi_watchdog > 0' (ie NMI_NONE) is quite fast but it
has a side effect - it's taken even if nmi_watchdog = NMI_DISABLED.
Nowadays nmi_watchdog is set up to NMI_NONE by default so this condition
is properly taken most the time but we better show this explicitly.

fix:
arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o: In function `proc_nmi_enabled':
: undefined reference to `nmi_watchdog_default'
arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o: In function `native_smp_prepare_cpus':
: undefined reference to `nmi_watchdog_default'

64bit mode bootstrap code does set nmi_watchdog to NMI_NONE
by default and doing the same on 32bit mode is safe too.
Such an action saves us from several #ifdef.

x86: nmi - fix incorrect NMI watchdog used by default
did not fix the problem completely, moreover it
introduced additional bug - nmi_watchdog would be
set to either NMI_LOCAL_APIC or NMI_IO_APIC
_regardless_ to boot option if being enabled thru
/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog. Sorry for that.
Fix it too.

set nmi_watchdog to NMI_IO_APIC as by default. This causes hangs on some
machines with buggy watchdogs. Fix it - i.e. restore old behaviour.
Thanks to Sitsofe Wheeler and Adrian Bunk for catching the problem
and Maciej W. Rozycki for explanation what is going on there.
