build: Replace KERNEL_LOCKUP_DETECTOR with KERNEL_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR
The LOCKUP_DETECTOR configuration option split into the SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR configuration option some time ago. The HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR option is only working on some architectures, but SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR should work everywhere. Replace KERNEL_LOCKUP_DETECTOR with KERNEL_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR. LOCKUP_DETECTOR will be selected by SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR automatically. Fixes: b951f53fbae3 ("build: Add additional kernel debug options") Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>

Softlockups are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
mode for more than 20 seconds, without giving other tasks a
chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon
detection and the system will stay locked up.
- Hardlockups are bugs that cause the CPU to loop in kernel mode
- for more than 10 seconds, without letting other interrupts have a
- chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon detection
- and the system will stay locked up.

- The overhead should be minimal. A periodic hrtimer runs to
- generate interrupts and kick the watchdog task every 4 seconds.
- An NMI is generated every 10 seconds or so to check for hardlockups.
-
- The frequency of hrtimer and NMI events and the soft and hard lockup
- thresholds can be controlled through the sysctl watchdog_thresh.
