Subject: [v2][PATCH] watchdog: core: stop watchdog when executing poweroff command

From: Meng Li <meng.li@...driver.com>

On some platforms, for example, Intel SoC FPGA platform, the watchdog
is started in u-boot, and so kernel will create a timer and work to
keep watchdog alive. But when user executes commands "poweroff" or
"shutdown -h", the system is reset when watchdog triggers timeout even
if WDOG_STOP_ON_REBOOT is set in watchdog driver. The root cause is
that the watchdog is not stopped properly because the SYS_POWER_OFF case
is not supported in notify callback function. So, add this case to stop
watchdog when executing poweroff command.
