Looks good.  Did you omit the equivalent fix in clocksource_start_watchdog()
on purpose?  For now I just took your change, but tweaked it to add the
equivalent diff with cpumask_first_and() there.

Can the watchdog be started on an isolated cpu at all? I would expect that
the code would start a watchdog only on a housekeeping cpu.
