[PATCH REVIEW 2/2] watchdog: add wd_data->lock mutex locking to watchdog_open()

From: Alexey Klimov
Date: Wed Aug 17 2022 - 22:07:30 EST


watchdog_open() does not have wd_data->lock locks at all unlike
the watchdog_release() for instance. Also watchdog_open() calls
watchdog_start() that should be called with wd_data->lock acquired.
The mutex lock should be acquired in the beginning of the function
after getting struct watchdog_core_data wd_data pointer to deal with
different status fields and be able to call watchdog_start(); and
released on exit and on different error paths.
