[PATCH] watchdog: sunplus: fix sp_wdt_restart spin loop and timeout

sp_wdt_restart() returns immediately after writing WDT_RESUME. The
kernel continues executing and the watchdog kthread could pet the
watchdog before the short timeout expired, preventing reset.
Add a spin loop so no other CPU can pet the watchdog while waiting for
the reset. Set the restart timeout to ~1.5s.
