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 watchdog core can kick the watchdog for us (if CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED option is enabled), until user space takes control. WDOG_HW_RUNNING bit must be set before registering the watchdog. So the "tmr_atboot" handling code is moved before watchdog registration, to avoid performing the same check twice. This is also logical because WDOG_HW_RUNNING bit makes WDT core expect actually running watchdog.
