watchdog: mei_wdt: request stop on reboot to prevent false positive event

Systemd on reboot enables shutdown watchdog that leaves the watchdog
device open to ensure that even if power down process get stuck the
platform reboots nonetheless.
The iamt_wdt is an alarm-only watchdog and can't reboot system, but the
FW will generate an alarm event reboot was completed in time, as the
watchdog is not automatically disabled during power cycle.
So we should request stop watchdog on reboot to eliminate wrong alarm
from the FW.
