[PATCH V3 3/4] ARM: mpcore_wdt: Fix WDIOC_SETOPTIONS handling

According to the include/linux/watchdog.h WDIOC_SETOPTIONS is
classified as 'read from device' ioctl call:
#define WDIOC_SETOPTIONS _IOR(WATCHDOG_IOCTL_BASE, 4, int)

However, the driver 'mpcore_wdt' performs 'copy_from_user' only if
_IOC_WRITE is set, thus the local variable 'uarg' which is used in
WDIOC_SETOPTIONS handling remains uninitialized.

The proper way to fix this is to bind WDIOC_SETOPTIONS to _IOW,
but this will break compatibility.
So adding additional condition for performing 'copy_from_user'.
