Subject[ 014/108] hpwdt: Fix kdump issue in hpwdt
3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com>

commit 308b135e4fcc00c80c07e0e04e7afa8edf78583c upstream.

kdump can be interrupted by watchdog timer when the timer is left
activated on the crash kernel. Changed the hpwdt driver to disable
watchdog timer at boot-time. This assures that watchdog timer is
disabled until /dev/watchdog is opened, and prevents watchdog timer
to be left running on the crash kernel.
