Add a set of tracepoints, enabling the observability of the watchdog
device interactions with user-space.

The events are:
     watchdog:watchdog_open
     watchdog:watchdog_close
     watchdog:watchdog_start
     watchdog:watchdog_stop
     watchdog:watchdog_set_timeout
     watchdog:watchdog_ping
     watchdog:watchdog_nowayout
     watchdog:watchdog_set_keep_alive
     watchdog:watchdog_keep_alive

Some watchdogs have a bark functionality, I think it should be event
for that too.


I understand. The problems is that I do not see the bark abstraction
in the
watchdog_dev layer.


I don't even know what "bark functionality" means. A new term for
pretimeout ?
Something else ?

From my understanding the bark timeout is actually the pretimeout
whereas the bite timeout is the actual timeout.
I think in the Kernel ftwdt010_wdt and qcom-wdt are bark/bite WTDs


If that is the case, I would prefer if we could stick to existing
terminology to avoid issues like "I do not see the bark abstraction".

Thanks,
