watchdog: refuse to unload softdog module when its timer is running

the softdog has static variables which are accessed if its timer is
still running after the driver is unloaded. and lead to crash:

   $modprobe softdog
   $echo 1 >/dev/watchdog
   $modprobe -r softdog

   CPU 20 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
   Oops[#1]:

add the module ref when timer is running to avoid to unload the softdog
module
