Subject[PATCH] watchdog: core: make sure the watchdog_worker always works
Date
When running a command like 'chrt -f 99 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null',
the watchdog_worker fails to service the HW watchdog and the
HW watchdog fires long before the watchdog soft timeout.

At the moment, the watchdog_worker is invoked as a delayed work.
Delayed works are handled by non realtime kernel threads. The
WQ_HIGHPRI flag only increases the niceness of that threads.

This patchs replaces the delayed work logic by hrtimer, in order to
ensure that the watchdog_worker will already have priority.
