Vladis Dronov 69503e5851 watchdog: fix UAF in reboot notifier handling in watchdog core code 
After the commit 44ea39420f ("drivers/watchdog: make use of
devm_register_reboot_notifier()") the struct notifier_block reboot_nb in
the struct watchdog_device is removed from the reboot notifiers chain at
the time watchdog's chardev is closed. But at least in i6300esb.c case
reboot_nb is embedded in the struct esb_dev which can be freed on its
device removal and before the chardev is closed, thus UAF at reboot:

Fix the crash by reverting 44ea39420f so unregister_reboot_notifier()
is called when watchdog device is removed. This also makes handling of
the reboot notifier unified with the handling of the restart handler,
which is freed with unregister_restart_handler() in the same place.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
