[PATCH v4 1/2] watchdog: dw_wdt: add stop watchdog operation

The only way of stopping the watchdog is by resetting it.
Add the watchdog op for stopping the device and reset if
a reset line is provided.

At same time WDOG_HW_RUNNING should be remove from dw_wdt_start.
As commented by Guenter Roeck:
dw_wdt sets WDOG_HW_RUNNING in its open function. Result is
that the kref_get() in watchdog_open() won't be executed. But then
kref_put() in close will be called since the watchdog now does stop.
This causes the imbalance.

changes v4:
 - remove WDOG_HW_RUNNING from dw_wdt_start.

changes v3:
 - don't return error if rst is not present and set WDOG_HW_RUNNING bit
   to notify watchdog core.

changes v2:
 - test if dw_wdt->rst is NULL instead of IS_ERR
