Subject: [PATCH 1/2] selftests: watchdog: Validate optional file argument

From: "George G. Davis" <george_davis@...tor.com>

As reported by Eugeniu Rosca, the newly added optional file
argument does not validate if the file is indeed a watchdog, e.g.:

./watchdog-test  -f /dev/zero
Watchdog Ticking Away!

Fix it by confirming that the WDIOC_GETSUPPORT ioctl succeeds.
