watchdog: iTCO_wdt: Set NO_REBOOT if the watchdog is not already running
commit ef9b7bf52c2f47f0a9bf988543c577b92c92d15e upstream.
Daniel reported that the commit 1ae3e78c0820 ("watchdog: iTCO_wdt: No
need to stop the timer in probe") makes QEMU implementation of the iTCO
watchdog not to trigger reboot anymore when NO_REBOOT flag is initially
cleared using this option (in QEMU command line):
-global ICH9-LPC.noreboot=false
The problem with the commit is that it left the unconditional setting of
NO_REBOOT that is not cleared anymore when the kernel keeps pinging the
watchdog (as opposed to the previous code that called iTCO_wdt_stop()
that cleared it).
Fix this so that we only set NO_REBOOT if the watchdog was not initially
running.
