The only caller does not handle the return value of
watchdog_nmi_enable(). If there is an error, it seems to be reported by
arch specific code.

Hence changing watchdog_nmi_enable() return value from int to void.

Hi Petr,

Thank you for reviewing.

But I am composing a series, which may overstep this patch. So please
drop this patch, and sorry for inconvenience.

Regards,

Pingfan
