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.
