watchdog/hardlockup: move SMP barriers from common code to buddy code

It's been suggested that since the SMP barriers are only potentially
useful for the buddy hardlockup detector, not the perf hardlockup
detector, that the barriers belong in the buddy code.  Let's move them and
add clearer comments about why they're needed.
