watchdog: Use static struct class watchdog_class in stead of pointer
We need few sysfs attributes to know different status of a watchdog device. To do that, we need to associate .dev_groups with watchdog_class. So convert it from pointer to static. Putting this static struct in watchdog_dev.c, so that static device attributes defined in that file can be attached to it.
