watchdog: Disable watchdog when thresh is zero
This restores the previous behavior of softlock_thresh.
Currently, setting watchdog_thresh to zero causes the watchdog
kthreads to consume a lot of CPU.
In addition, the logic of proc_dowatchdog_thresh and
proc_dowatchdog_enabled has been factored into proc_dowatchdog.
