watchdog: Fix broken nowatchdog logic

Passing nowatchdog to kernel disables 2 things: creation of
watchdog threads AND initialization of percpu watchdog_hrtimer.
As hrtimers are initialized only at boot it's not possible to
enable watchdog later - for me all watchdog threads started to
eat 100% of CPU time, but they could just crash.

Additionally, even if these threads would start properly,
watchdog_disable_all_cpus was guarded by no_watchdog check, so
you couldn't disable watchdog.

To fix this, remove no_watchdog variable and use already
existing watchdog_enabled variable.
