watchdog: omap: assert the counter being stopped before reprogramming

commit 530c11d432727c697629ad5f9d00ee8e2864d453 upstream.

The omap watchdog has the annoying behaviour that writes to most
registers don't have any effect when the watchdog is already running.
Quoting the AM335x reference manual:

	To modify the timer counter value (the WDT_WCRR register),
	prescaler ratio (the WDT_WCLR[4:2] PTV bit field), delay
	configuration value (the WDT_WDLY[31:0] DLY_VALUE bit field), or
	the load value (the WDT_WLDR[31:0] TIMER_LOAD bit field), the
	watchdog timer must be disabled by using the start/stop sequence
	(the WDT_WSPR register).

Currently the timer is stopped in the .probe callback but still there
are possibilities that yield to a situation where omap_wdt_start is
entered with the timer running (e.g. when /dev/watchdog is closed
without stopping and then reopened). In such a case programming the
timeout silently fails!

To circumvent this stop the timer before reprogramming.

Assuming one of the first things the watchdog user does is setting the
timeout explicitly nothing too bad should happen because this explicit
setting works fine.
