Subject: watchdog: bcm281xx: Fix use of uninitialized spinlock.

From: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>

commit fedf266f9955d9a019643cde199a2fd9a0259f6f upstream.

The bcm_kona_wdt_set_resolution_reg() call takes the spinlock, so
initialize it earlier.  Fixes a warning at boot with lock debugging
enabled.
