ZhenguoYao 95f091274f watchdog/softlockup: fix incorrect CPU utilization output during softlockup
Since we use 16-bit precision, the raw data will undergo integer division,
which may sometimes result in data loss.  This can lead to slightly
inaccurate CPU utilization calculations.  Under normal circumstances, this
isn't an issue.  However, when CPU utilization reaches 100%, the
calculated result might exceed 100%.  For example, with raw data like the
following:

sample_period 400000134 new_stat 83648414036 old_stat 83247417494

sample_period=400000134/2^24=23
new_stat=83648414036/2^24=4985
old_stat=83247417494/2^24=4961
util=105%

Below log will output:

CPU#3 Utilization every 0s during lockup:
    #1:   0% system,          0% softirq,   105% hardirq,     0% idle
    #2:   0% system,          0% softirq,   105% hardirq,     0% idle
    #3:   0% system,          0% softirq,   100% hardirq,     0% idle
    #4:   0% system,          0% softirq,   105% hardirq,     0% idle
    #5:   0% system,          0% softirq,   105% hardirq,     0% idle

To avoid confusion, we enforce a 100% display cap when calculations exceed
this threshold.

We also round to the nearest multiple of 16.8 milliseconds to improve the
accuracy.
