[PATCH] Revert nmi_known_cpu() check during boot option parsing

Browse Source 
Commit f2802e7f57 and its x86 version
(b7471c6da9) adds nmi_known_cpu() check
while parsing boot options in x86_64 and i386.

With that, "nmi_watchdog=2" stops working for me on Intel Core 2 CPU
based system.

The problem is, setup_nmi_watchdog is called while parsing the boot
option and identify_cpu is not done yet.  So, the return value of
nmi_known_cpu() is not valid at this point.

So revert that check.  This should not have any adverse effect as the
nmi_known_cpu() check is done again later in enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog().
