watchdog: make nowayout sysfs file writable
It can be useful to delay setting the nowayout feature for a watchdog device. Moreover, not every driver (notably gpio_wdt) implements a nowayout module parameter/otherwise respects CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT, and modifying those drivers carries a risk of causing a regression for someone who has two watchdog devices, sets CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT and somehow relies on the gpio_wdt driver being ignorant of that (i.e., allowing one to gracefully close a gpio_wdt but not the other watchdog in the system). So instead, simply make the nowayout sysfs file writable. Obviously, setting nowayout is a one-way street.
