Fix SMP race in NMI watchdog on i386/x86-64

Fix a long standing SMP Setup race in the NMI watchdog. The
watchdog would tick from very early and check if all CPUs
increase their timer interrupts. For that it would check
the cpu_online_map. Now if a CPU took too long to boot 
the watchdog would trigger prematurely because the CPU
didn't increase its timer count yet.

Fix is to check cpu_callin_map instead of cpu_online_map
because the first is only set when a CPU started its timer
interrupt. 

I fixed it on i386 and x86-64. 

Description of the problem from Manpreet Singh. Thanks.
