No, we're just trying to test the actual condition we want to exit on.
The watchdog interrupt might be masked (either with WIE or CE).

What race? If ENW and WIS are both set when the watchdog timer fires,
it's a final expiration. It's irrelevant what happens to WIS after that
point, before enforcement kicks in.

What would that solve?
