| Use NMI_NONE instead of 0. As the symbol NMI_DISABLED equals to -1,
| the nmi_watchdog variable should also be signed.

We should leave nmi_watchdog as unsigned. The only snippet which
could be reviewed as controversy point  - is touch_nmi_watchdog()
where we just test nmi_watchdog for being greater than 0. Actually
there NMI_NONE should be used instead. But frankly some additional
simplification is needed.
