selftests: watchdog: fix message when /dev/watchdog open fails
[ Upstream commit 9a244229a4b850b11952a0df79607c69b18fd8df ] When /dev/watchdog open fails, watchdog exits with "watchdog not enabled" message. This is incorrect when open fails due to insufficient privilege. Fix message to clearly state the reason when open fails with EACCESS when a non-root user runs it.
