Bug description:
  It was brought to me several situations where users where facing
  kernel panics when machine was apparently idling (for some HP Proliant
  Servers like DL 360, DL 380).

  ILO:

  It turned out that after investigating all idling situations and
  diverse kernel dump files - where we had most of the CPUs either
  MWAITing and or "relaxing", we discovered that HPWDT was loaded and
  corosync was opening /dev/watchdog file, triggering the ILO watchdog
  timer and not updating frequently enough as ILO expected.

  As described in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-watchdog.conf:

  """
  # Watchdog drivers should not be loaded automatically, but only if a
  # watchdog daemon is installed.
  """

  We should blacklist module "hpwdt" by default for all Ubuntu versions.
