In iTCO_wdt_start() and iTCO_wdt_stop() functions, update_no_reboot_bit()
call has been made within io_lock spin lock context. But if the
update_no_reboot_bit() function is implemented by chipset/PMC driver
then we can't be sure whether their implementation does not include any
sleeping calls. Also, iTCO_wdt io_lock is mainly intended for protecting the
watchdog IO operations and has nothing to with no_reboot_bit update.
Currently, update_no_reboot_bit() function implemented by intel_pmc_ipc
driver uses mutex_lock() which in turn causes "sleeping into atomic
context" issue in iTCO_wdt_start()/iTCO_wdt_stop() functions.
So moving the update_no_reboot_bit() function out of atomic context.
