watchdog: rename watchdog_suspend() and watchdog_resume()
Rename watchdog_suspend() to lockup_detector_suspend() and
watchdog_resume() to lockup_detector_resume() to avoid confusion with the
watchdog subsystem and to be consistent with the existing name
lockup_detector_init().
Also provide comment blocks to explain the watchdog_running and
watchdog_suspended variables and their relationship.
