watchdog: Fix potential dereferencing of null pointer 

A reboot notifier, which stops the WDT by calling the stop hook without
any check, would be registered when we set WDOG_STOP_ON_REBOOT flag.

Howerer we allow the WDT driver to omit the stop hook since commit
"d0684c8a93549" ("watchdog: Make stop function optional") and provide
a module parameter for user that controls the WDOG_STOP_ON_REBOOT flag
in commit 9232c80659 ("watchdog: Add stop_on_reboot parameter to
control reboot policy"). Together that commits make user potential to
insert a watchdog driver that don't provide a stop hook but with the
stop_on_reboot parameter set, then dereferencing of null pointer occurs
on system reboot.

Check the stop hook before registering the reboot notifier to fix the
issue.
