Bit 0 of `dw_wdt.in_use` is tested and set atomically to indicate that
the watchdog has been opened exclusively.  The other bits are unused.
Some parts of the code also treat the whole of the `in_use` member as a
boolean value.

In preparation for making use of the unused bits, rename the `in_use`
member to `state`, define a new macro `DW_WDT_IN_USE` to identify bit 0
as the "in-use" bit, and replace conditional tests on the whole of
`in_use` with single-bit tests on the appropriate bit of `state`.
