Originally adapted from Huang Ying's patch which moved the
unknown_nmi_panic to the traps.c file.  Because the old nmi
watchdog was deleted before this change happened, the
unknown_nmi_panic sysctl was lost.  This re-adds it.

Also, the nmi_watchdog sysctl was re-implemented and its
documentation updated accordingly.
