watchdog: Mark watchdog touch functions as notrace
Some architectures need to use stop_machine() to patch functions for
ftrace, and the assumption is that the stopped CPUs do not make function
calls to traceable functions when they are in the stopped state.

Commit ce4f06dcbb5d ("stop_machine: Touch_nmi_watchdog() after
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE") added calls to the watchdog touch functions from
the stopped CPUs and those functions lack notrace annotations.  This
leads to crashes when enabling/disabling ftrace on ARM kernels built
with the Thumb-2 instruction set.

Fix it by adding the necessary notrace annotations.
