Some watchdog devices might conditionally support pretimeouts (e.g. if an interrupt is exposed for the device) but some watchdog drivers might still define the set_pretimeout operation (e.g. the mtk_wdt driver) and indicate support at runtime through the WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT flag. If the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HRTIMER_PRETIMEOUT enabled, watchdog_set_pretimeout would run the driver specific set_pretimeout even if WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT is not set which might have unintended consequences. So this change checks that the device flags and only runs the driver operation if pretimeouts are supported.
