watchdog: Rename confusing state variable
We have two very conflicting state variable names in the
watchdog:
* watchdog_enabled: This one reflects the user interface. It's
set to 1 by default and can be overriden with boot options
or sysctl/procfs interface.
* watchdog_disabled: This is the internal toggle state that
tells if watchdog threads, timers and NMI events are currently
running or not. This state mostly depends on the user settings.
It's a convenient state latch.
Now we really need to find clearer names because those
are just too confusing to encourage deep review.
watchdog_enabled now becomes watchdog_user_enabled to reflect
its purpose as an interface.
watchdog_disabled becomes watchdog_running to suggest its
role as a pure internal state.
