watchdog: Rename confusing state variable
We have two very conflicting state variable names in the watchdog: * watchdog_enabled: This one reflects the user interface. It's set to 1 by default and can be overriden with boot options or sysctl/procfs interface. * watchdog_disabled: This is the internal toggle state that tells if watchdog threads, timers and NMI events are currently running or not. This state mostly depends on the user settings. It's a convenient state latch. Now we really need to find clearer names because those are just too confusing to encourage deep review. watchdog_enabled now becomes watchdog_user_enabled to reflect its purpose as an interface. watchdog_disabled becomes watchdog_running to suggest its role as a pure internal state.
