Subject: watchdog: move watchdog sysctl interface to watchdog.c
The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just
care about the core logic of proc sysctl.
So, move the watchdog syscl interface to watchdog.c. Use
register_sysctl() to register the sysctl interface to avoid merge
conflicts when different features modify sysctl.c at the same time.
