watchdog: Boot-disable by default on full dynticks

When the watchdog runs, it prevents the full dynticks
CPUs from stopping their tick because the hard lockup
detector uses perf events internally, which in turn
rely on the periodic tick.

Since this is a rather confusing behaviour that is not
easy to track down and identify for those who want to
test CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL, let's default disable the
watchdog on boot time when full dynticks is enabled.

The user can still enable it later on runtime using
proc or sysctl.
