Currently, watchdog-test keep running until it gets a SIGINT. However,

1. watchdog haven't stop, a watchdog reset is triggered to reboot the OS
in silent.
2. kselftests gets an timeout exit code, and judge watchdog-test as
'not ok'
This test isn't really supposed to be run from kselftest framework.
This is the reason why it isn't included in the default run.
May I know what's the default run, is it different from `make run_tests` ?
No it isn't. "make kselftest" runs only the targets mentioned in the
selftests Makefile. That is considered the kselftest default run.
Hey, Shuah,
Thanks for your explanation.
If that is the case, I do not have an urgent need for the current patch, expect
I'd like to avoid the reboot issue after an accidentally `make run_tests`
Some changes are make as below, please take a look. I will send it out we reach a consensus.

selftests/watchdog-test: Fix system accidentally reset after watchdog-test
After `make run_tests` to run watchdog-test, a system reboot would
happen due to watchdog not stop.
```
The system shouldn't reboot just because watchdog test is left running.
watchdog test keeps calling ioctl() with WDIOC_KEEPALIVE to make sure
the watchdog card timer is reset.
If you are seeing reboots, that means watchdog test couldn't reset the
timer. This usually mean system is unresponsive or something is wrong
with the watchdog card on your system.
This is the behavior you would expect from a watchdog timer. Does your
system have a watchdog card ot or you enabling softdog module?
Either way there is some other reason for the system reboot.
thanks,
