H A Dwatchdog.cb66a2356 Tue Mar 12 13:44:08 CDT 2013 anish kumar <anish198519851985@gmail.com> watchdog: Add comments to explain the watchdog_disabled variable

The watchdog_disabled flag is a bit cryptic. However it's
usefulness is multifold. Uses are:

1. Check if smpboot_register_percpu_thread function passed.

2. Makes sure that user enables and disables the watchdog in
sequence i.e. enable watchdog->disable watchdog->enable watchdog
Unlike enable watchdog->enable watchdog which is wrong.
