So this value is in microseconds.

However, wdt->base.timeout is in seconds. So I don't think we can simply 
add this. Don't we need to ...

timeleft += (wdt->base.timeout * USEC_PER_SEC * (4 - expiration)) / 5;

Given that this could be quite a big number, we probably want to make 
timeleft a 64-bit type too. So we may want to define a 'u64 
timeleft_usecs' and 'u32 timeleft_secs' that we return.
