watchdog: make nowayout sysfs file writable 

It can be useful to delay setting the nowayout feature for a watchdog
device. Moreover, not every driver (notably gpio_wdt) implements a
nowayout module parameter/otherwise respects CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT,
and modifying those drivers carries a risk of causing a regression for
someone who has two watchdog devices, sets CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT
and somehow relies on the gpio_wdt driver being ignorant of
that (i.e., allowing one to gracefully close a gpio_wdt but not the
other watchdog in the system).

So instead, simply make the nowayout sysfs file writable. Obviously,
setting nowayout is a one-way street.

Description:
It is a read only file. While reading, it gives '1' if that
device supports nowayout feature else, it gives '0'.
It is a read/write file. While reading, it gives '1'
if the device has the nowayout feature set, otherwise
it gives '0'. Writing a '1' to the file enables the
nowayout feature. Once set, the nowayout feature
cannot be disabled, so writing a '0' either has no
effect (if the feature was already disabled) or
results in a permission error.
