3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Chuansheng Liu <chuansheng....@intel.com>
commit 8ffeb9b0e6369135bf03a073514f571ef10606b9 upstream.
In get_sample_period(), unsigned long is not enough:
watchdog_thresh * 2 * (NSEC_PER_SEC / 5)
case1:
watchdog_thresh is 10 by default, the sample value will be: 0xEE6B2800
case2:
set watchdog_thresh is 20, the sample value will be: 0x1 DCD6 5000
In case2, we need use u64 to express the sample period. Otherwise,
changing the threshold thru proc often can not be successful.
