watchdog: core: fix null pointer dereference when releasing cdev

watchdog_stop() calls watchdog_update_worker() which needs a valid
wdd->wd_data pointer. So, when unregistering the cdev, clear the
pointers after we call watchdog_stop(), not before.

Fixes: bb292ac1 ("watchdog: Introduce watchdog_stop_on_unregister helper")
