watchdog: fix hrtimer start when pretimeout is zero

Browse source

Per the watchdog API, a pretimeout value of 0 disables the feature.
However, watchdog_hrtimer_pretimeout_start() fails to verify if the
pretimeout is non-zero before arming the timer.

This omission inadvertently starts the software pretimeout timer,
which could result in the pretimeout handler executing incorrectly
when the watchdog timeout is reached.

Fix this by adding a check for wdd->pretimeout before calling
hrtimer_start(), ensuring the disabled state is respected.
