Some watchdog drivers initialize global spinlocks in module's init function
which is tolerable, but some do it in PCI probe function. So, switch to
static initialization to fix theoretical bugs and, more importantly, stop
giving people bad examples.

It seems that some watchdog drivers are doing following mistake:
rv = misc_register();
if (rv < 0)
return rv;
rv = request_region();
if (rv < 0) {
misc_deregister();
return rv;
}
But, right after misc_register() returns, misc device can be opened and
ioctls interacting with hardware issued, and driver can do outb() to
port it doesn't own yet, because request_region() is still pending.
Here is my patch, compile-tested only.

- Use timer macros to set function and data members and to modify
expiration time.
- Use DEFINE_TIMER for single (platform dependent) watchdog timers and
do not init them at run-time in these cases.
- del_timer_sync is common in most cases -- we want to wait for timer
function if it's still running.

On a machine with no machzwd, loading the module prints out..
machzwd: MachZ ZF-Logic Watchdog driver initializing.
0xffff
machzwd: Watchdog using action = RESET
- the 0xffff printk is unnecessary
- 0xffff seems to be 'hardware not present'
- fix CodingStyle. (This driver could use some more work here)

Return ENOTTY instead of ENOIOCTLCMD in user-visible ioctl() results
The watchdog drivers used to return ENOIOCTLCMD for bad ioctl() commands.
ENOIOCTLCMD should not be visible by the user, so use ENOTTY instead.

Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
