watchdog: initialize device before misc_register

Browse Source 
When watchdog device is being registered, it calls misc_register that
makes watchdog available for systemd to open. This is a data race
scenario, because when device is open it may still have device struct
not initialized - this in turn causes a crash. This patch moves
device initialization before misc_register call and it solves the
problem printed below.
