To prevent removing if NOWAYOUT, we invalidate the .remove function and
suppress the bind/unbind attributes in sysfs. These are driver
capabilities, so we need to set it up at runtime during init. To avoid
boilerplate, introduce module_watchdog_driver() similar to
module_driver(). On top of that, we then build
module_watchdog_platform_driver(). Others may follow, if needed.
