[PATCH 2/3] [RFC] Print a watchdog message at KERN_WARNING level

[Paul Bolle <pebolle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For messages like
    NMI watchdog disabled for cpu0: unable to create perf event: -95

KERN_WARNING seems to be more appropriate than KERN_ERR. (Main benefit
of the KERN_WARNING level is that Fedora's plymouth bootsplash should
now hide them.)

Yes, the changed line is getting very long, but that is apparently not a
problem in this file.
