watchdog: softdog: remove obsolete comments
The history is obsolete, especially since we switched to watchdog framework. The section markers also don't make sense anymore given the small size of the driver.

*
* Software only watchdog driver. Unlike its big brother the WDT501P
* driver this won't always recover a failed machine.
- *
- * 03/96: Angelo Haritsis <ah@doc.ic.ac.uk> :
- * Modularised.
- * Added soft_margin; use upon insmod to change the timer delay.
- * NB: uses same minor as wdt (WATCHDOG_MINOR); we could use separate
- * minors.
- *
- * 19980911 Alan Cox
- * Made SMP safe for 2.3.x
- *
- * 20011127 Joel Becker (jlbec@evilplan.org>
- * Added soft_noboot; Allows testing the softdog trigger without
- * requiring a recompile.
- * Added WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT and WDIOC_SETTIMOUT.
- *
- * 20020530 Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>
- * Added Matt Domsch's nowayout module option.
