watchdog: Fix kref imbalance seen if handle_boot_enabled=0
If handle_boot_enabled is set to 0, the watchdog driver module use counter will not be increased and kref_get() will not be called when registering the watchdog. Subsequently, on open, this does not happen either because the code believes that it was already done because the hardware watchdog is marked as running. We could introduce a state variable to indicate this state, but let's just increase the module use counter and call kref_get() unconditionally if the hardware watchdog is running when a driver is registering itself to keep the code simple. Fixes: 2501b015313fe ("watchdog: core: add option to avoid early ...")
