Some hardware implements reboot through its watchdog hardware,
for example by triggering a watchdog timeout. Platform specific
code starts to spread into watchdog drivers, typically by setting
pointers to a callback functions which is then called from the
platform reset handler.
To simplify code and provide a unified API to trigger reboots by
watchdog drivers, provide a single API to trigger such reboots
through the watchdog subsystem.

v4: Protect accesses to wdd_reboot_dev with spinlock to avoid potential
race conditions.
Drop Acked-by and Tested-by tags because changes are too significant
and warrant re-evaluation and re-testing.
v3: Drop reboot mode and cmd string parameters from API
v2: Remove unnecessary check for ops in reboot function
