When "tmr_atboot" module param is set, the watchdog is started in driver's probe. In that case, also set WDOG_HW_RUNNING bit to let watchdog core driver know it's running. This way wathcdog core can kick the watchdog for us (if CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED option is enabled), until user space takes control.
