Wang Wensheng d4dbcfb7e1 watchdog: Fix potential dereferencing of null pointer
[ Upstream commit 6f733cb2e7db38f8141b14740bcde577844a03b7 ]

A reboot notifier, which stops the WDT by calling the stop hook without
any check, would be registered when we set WDOG_STOP_ON_REBOOT flag.

Howerer we allow the WDT driver to omit the stop hook since commit
"d0684c8a93" ("watchdog: Make stop function optional") and provide
a module parameter for user that controls the WDOG_STOP_ON_REBOOT flag
in commit 9232c80659e94 ("watchdog: Add stop_on_reboot parameter to
control reboot policy"). Together that commits make user potential to
insert a watchdog driver that don't provide a stop hook but with the
stop_on_reboot parameter set, then dereferencing of null pointer occurs
on system reboot.

Check the stop hook before registering the reboot notifier to fix the
issue.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
