A few lines before 'watchdog_hrtimer_pretimeout_stop(wdd)', we explicitly
set 'wdd->wd_data' to NULL.
So, it is more than likely than this call will lead to an invalid
memory access.

Move this call before the 'wdd->wd_data = NULL;'

Completely untested!
Not sure at all, that it is the way to fix it.

Nice catch. Should be ok.
