hpwdt: Fix kdump issue in hpwdt
kdump can be interrupted by watchdog timer when the timer is left activated on the crash kernel. Changed the hpwdt driver to disable watchdog timer at boot-time. This assures that watchdog timer is disabled until /dev/watchdog is opened, and prevents watchdog timer to be left running on the crash kernel.
