[PATHC V3] Watchdog on MPC85xx SMP system

On Book-E SMP systems each core has its own private watchdog.
If only one watchdog is enabled, when the core that doesn't
enable the watchdog is hung, system can't reset because no
watchdog is running on it. That's bad. It means we must enable
watchdogs on both cores.

We can use smp_call_function() to send appropriate messages to all the other
cores to enable and update the watchdog.
