lockup_detector: Update some config

We kept CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP around for compatibility with
older configs. But it was enabled by default if CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.

So if we want to enable CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR on configs that had
CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP, all we need is to have the same enabling
by default if CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. We can then remove
CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP directly.

So tag CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR as default y. This is what we want for
most serious kernel debugging anyway.

And also forbid the lockup detector in S390 as it was for the
previous softlockup detector, event though the true reason for that
is not outlined.

Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "soft lockups",
which are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
mode for more than 60 seconds, without giving other tasks a
chance to run.
When a soft-lockup is detected, the kernel will print the
current stack trace (which you should report), but the
system will stay locked up. This feature has negligible
overhead.
(Note that "hard lockups" are separate type of bugs that
can be detected via the NMI-watchdog, on platforms that
support it.)
