watchdog/softlockup: Remove obsolete check of last reported task
commit 9cf57731b63e ("watchdog/softlockup: Replace "watchdog/%u" threads with cpu_stop_work") ensures that the watchdog is reliably touched during a task switch. As a result the check for an unnoticed task switch is not longer needed. Remove the relevant code, which effectively reverts commit b1a8de1f5343 ("softlockup: make detector be aware of task switch of processes hogging cpu") Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Peter Ziljstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191024114928.15377-2-pmladek@suse.com
