Probing at device_initcall time lead to perverse cases where the
watchdog was probed after, say, I2C, which then leaves a potentially
running watchdog at the mercy of I2C device behaviour and bus
conditions.
Load the watchdog driver early to ensure that the kernel is patting it
well before initialising peripherals.
