Currently "watchdog did not stop!" message is printed when the watchdog
timer is not stopped at close. For example, people may see the message
when rebooting the system, or the message will be logged to console
periodically if watchdog is kicked by a scirpt which runs "echo k >
/dev/watchdog" command.
Given a critical message usually indicates a serious hardware/software
failure, this message could easily lead to confusion, so it's better to
just delete the message.
