[PATCH REVIEW 1/2] watchdog: extend the mutex-protected section in watchdog_cdev_unregister()

From: Alexey Klimov
Date: Wed Aug 17 2022 - 22:06:37 EST


watchdog_stop() should be called with wd_data->lock mutex locked.
Updates to wdd->status also occur under this look throughout the
watchdog_dev.c as well as functions that deal with pretimeout hrtimer
like watchdog_hrtimer_pretimeout_stop() here.
