Watchdog: fix pretimeout noop governor logging and description

This commit updates the watchdog pretimeout noop governor by removing
the usage of wdd->id to avoid potential compilation issues on different
kernel versions. It also corrects the module description to match the
governor's name.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this leave a format specifier without a corresponding argument? 

The commit message suggested changing the string to 
"watchdog: pretimeout event\n", but the %d is still present in the format 
string. This will likely cause pr_alert() to read an uninitialized integer 
from the stack or a register, resulting in garbage values being printed to 
the kernel log.
