powerpc/watchdog: Allow the Book-E driver to be compiled as a module
Register the __init and __exit functions in the PowerPC Book-E Watchdog
driver as module entry/exit functions, and modify the Kconfig entry.
Add a .release method for the PowerPC Book-E Watchdog driver, so that the
watchdog is disabled when the driver is closed.
