Subject: [PATCH] Revert "watchdog: iTCO_wdt: Account for rebooting on second timeout"

This reverts commit cb011044e34c ("watchdog: iTCO_wdt: Account for
rebooting on second timeout") and commit aec42642d91f ("watchdog: iTCO_wdt:
Fix detection of SMI-off case") since those patches cause a regression
on certain boards (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213809).

While this revert may result in some boards to only reset after twice
the configured timeout value, that is still better than a watchdog reset
after half the configured value.
