em_watchdog() currently does not lock around the call to em_stop which
means that if the lock is not held, it panics.  I recently ran into this
problem when the ACPI/SMP commits broke one of my machines.  The
following patch keeps the watchdog timer from being an instant panic on
this system.  It doesn't make the driver work, but I don't think that's
actually a driver issue.
