[RFC PATCH 1/9] watchdog: always print when registering watchdog fails

[Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com>]

So far, only 'watchdog_register_device' prints an error if registering
the watchdog driver fails. '__watchdog_register_device' doesn't.
Refactor the code so that both print out. Drivers can then rely on that
and skip their own error messages.
