    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.
