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.

This patch adds following attributes to watchdog device's sysfs interface
to read its different status.
* state - reads whether device is active or not
* identity - reads Watchdog device's identity string.
* timeout - reads current timeout.
* timeleft - reads timeleft before watchdog generates a reset
* bootstatus - reads status of the watchdog device at boot
* status - reads watchdog device's internal status bits
* nowayout - reads whether nowayout feature was set or not
Testing with iTCO_wdt:
# cd /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog1/
# ls
bootstatus dev device identity nowayout power state
subsystem timeleft timeout uevent
# cat identity
iTCO_wdt
# cat timeout
30
# cat state
inactive
# echo > /dev/watchdog1
# cat timeleft
26
# cat state
active
# cat bootstatus
0
# cat nowayout
0
