The watchdog core can handle pinging of the watchdog before userspace
gets control so we can take advantage of that in iTCO_wdt. This also
allows users to disable the watchdog core ping thread by passing
watchdog.handle_boot_enabled=0 in the kernel command line if needed.
To avoid any unexpected resets we keep the existing functionality of
stopping the watchdog on probe if the watchdog core ping thread is not
enabled in the Kconfig (CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED=n).
