softlockup: fix softlockup_thresh unaligned access and disable detection at runtime
Fix unaligned access errors when setting softlockup_thresh on
64 bit platforms.
Allow softlockup detection to be disabled by setting
softlockup_thresh <= 0.
Detect that boot time softlockup detection has been disabled
earlier in softlockup_tick.
