watchdog: add watchdog pretimeout governor framework

Browse source 
The change adds a simple watchdog pretimeout framework infrastructure,
its purpose is to allow users to select a desired handling of watchdog
pretimeout events, which may be generated by some watchdog devices.

A user selects a default watchdog pretimeout governor during
compilation stage.

Watchdogs with WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT capability now have one more device
attribute in sysfs, pretimeout_governor attribute is intended to display
the selected watchdog pretimeout governor.

The framework has no impact at runtime on watchdog devices with no
WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT capability set.

* 128: default restart handler, use if no other handler is expected to be
available, and/or if restart is sufficient to restart the entire system
* 255: highest priority, will preempt all other restart handlers
To raise a pretimeout notification, the following function should be used:
void watchdog_notify_pretimeout(struct watchdog_device *wdd)
The function can be called in the interrupt context. If watchdog pretimeout
governor framework (kbuild CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV symbol) is enabled,
an action is taken by a preconfigured pretimeout governor preassigned to
the watchdog device. If watchdog pretimeout governor framework is not
enabled, watchdog_notify_pretimeout() prints a notification message to
the kernel log buffer.
