Kairui Song d551516f52 Set watchdog's pretimeout to zero in kdump kernel 
Most watchdogs have a parameter pretimeout, if set to non-zero, it means
before the watchdog really reset the system, it will try to panic the
kernel first, so kdump could kick in, or, just print a panic stacktrace
and then kernel should reset it self.

If we are already in kdump kernel, this is not really helpful, only
increase kernel hanging chance. And it also make thing become complex
as some watchdog triggers the kernel panic in NMI context, which
could also hang the kernel in strange ways, and fail the watchdog it
self. So just disable this parameter.

Also for hpwdt, it have another parameter kdumptimeout, which is
just designed for first kernel. The default behaviour is the watchdog
will simply stop working if timeouted, trigger a panic, and leave the
kernel to kdump. Again, if we are already in kdump this is not helpful.
So also disable that.
