[PATCH 3/9] watchdog: move definition of 'watchdog_proc_mutex' outside of proc_dowatchdog()

[Don Zickus]

From: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@xxxxxxxxxx>

This series removes the proc_dowatchdog() function. Since multiple
new functions need the 'watchdog_proc_mutex' to serialize access to
the watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel, move the mutex outside
of any function.
