Here is a small patch to change the behavior of the PMU msr allocator
to avoid BUG_ON() when the MSR is unknwon. Instead, it now returns
ok, which means "I do not manage". The current allocator is not
yet managing the full set of PMU registers (e.g., GLOBAL_* on Core 2).

[watchdog] do not BUG_ON() in the MSR allocator if MSR is unknown, return ok
instead
