kdump can be interrupted by watchdog timer when the timer is left
activated on the crash kernel. Changed the hpwdt driver to disable
watchdog timer at boot-time. This assures that watchdog timer is
disabled until /dev/watchdog is opened, and prevents watchdog timer
to be left running on the crash kernel.
