proc_dowatchdog doesn't synchronize multiple callers which might lead to confusion when two parallel callers might confuse watchdog_enable_all_cpus resp watchdog_disable_all_cpus (eg watchdog gets enabled even if watchdog_thresh was set to 0 already). This patch adds a local mutex which synchronizes callers to the sysctl handler.
