Only put .h files that are needed by different .c files in the
include/linux/ directory.  Otherwise it should be local to where the .c
file is.

Great, use that!

What issue is that?

How will a user know which they should use?

Why not just fix whatever is wrong with the watchdog code instead of
creating a new one?

Then fix that!

Please just fix the watchdog, as obviously it is not working properly.
Don't create something new because of that.
