Check if watchdog device supports WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING option before
entering keep_alive() ping test loop. Fix watchdog-test silently looping
if ioctl based ping is not supported by the device. Exit from test in
such case instead of stucking in loop executing failing keep_alive()
Fixes: d89d08ffd2c5 ("selftests: watchdog: Fix ioctl SET* error paths to take oneshot exit path")
