Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] watchdog: menz069_wdt: drop unneeded MODULE_ALIAS

Since commit 1f4ea4838b13 ("mcb: Add missing modpost build support")
the MODULE_ALIAS() is redundant as the module alias is now
automatically generated from the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().

Remove the explicit alias.

No functional change intended.
