watchdog: Add support for WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT IOCTL in watchdog core
This patch adds support for WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT IOCTL in watchdog core. So, there
is another function pointer added to struct watchdog_ops, which can be passed by
drivers to support this IOCTL.
Related documentation is updated too.

Other IOCTLs can be served using the ioctl-callback. Note that this is mainly
intended for porting old drivers; new drivers should not invent private IOCTLs.
Private IOCTLs are processed first. When the callback returns with
