3.0-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.
