From: Vladis Dronov <vdronov@redhat.com>

commit 69503e585192fdd84b240f18a0873d20e18a2e0a upstream.

After the commit 44ea39420fc9 ("drivers/watchdog: make use of
devm_register_reboot_notifier()") the struct notifier_block reboot_nb in
the struct watchdog_device is removed from the reboot notifiers chain at
the time watchdog's chardev is closed. But at least in i6300esb.c case
reboot_nb is embedded in the struct esb_dev which can be freed on its
device removal and before the chardev is closed, thus UAF at reboot:

Fix the crash by reverting 44ea39420fc9 so unregister_reboot_notifier()
is called when watchdog device is removed. This also makes handling of
the reboot notifier unified with the handling of the restart handler,
which is freed with unregister_restart_handler() in the same place.
