No idea how I missed this. Adding it now.

This one is covered: the watchdog_ops->ioctl is called by
the wdt_dev_ioctl() function as a fallback.

After checking once more, I did find another instance I missed
though: drivers/hwmon/w83793.c, I'm adding that as welll now.

m41t80 does not seem to have any 64-bit machines using it,
but w83793 does, and they clearly both should have been
changed.

Thanks for the review!
