Subject: [PATCH] watchdog/wdt-main: Use cpumask_of() to avoid cpumask var on stack

In general it's preferable to avoid placing cpumasks on the stack, as
for large values of NR_CPUS these can consume significant amounts of
stack space and make stack overflows more likely.

Use cpumask_of() to avoid the need for a temporary cpumask on the stack
