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.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Some small fixes:
* the status should return 0 and not 1 (1 means:
* wdt_io is not a module-param, io is.

remove the TEMP_MINOR stuff,
make sure the device works as a Virtual File System
that is non_seekable,
