[PATCH] watchdog: fix watchdog_set_timeout breakage for drivers like imxwd

Commit 0b944fce55f4 ("watchdog: permit `wd 0` for non-stoppable, but
inactive, watchdogs") silently broke use of non-stoppable, but inactive,
watchdogs altogether. Because those always had watchdog_hw_running
evaluating to false, it early exited without a chance to ever actually
set the timeout (and for watchdog_hw_running to evaluate to != false).

This results in following watchdog drivers being broken in v2020.08.0:

 - imxwd
 - f71808e_wdt
 - at91sam9_wdt

Fixes: 0b944fce55f4 ("watchdog: permit `wd 0` for non-stoppable, but inactive, watchdogs")
