Presumably touch_softlockup_watchdog() being called with preemption
enabled.  Which is a legitimate thing to do and there's no point in
disabling preemption just to squish a runtime warning.

Christoph, this thing has iirc caught a couple of very minor bugs but
it is being quite a pain in the rear.   I'm inclined to revert?
