Disable watchdog on virtual machines.
For various reasons, VMs seem to trigger the soft lockup detector a lot,
in cases where it's just not possible for a lockup to occur.
(Example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=971139)
In some cases it seems that the host just never scheduled the app running
the VM for a very long time (Could be the host was under heavy load).
Just disable the detector on VMs.
