Akhilesh Patil ec9a5b4f0e selftests: watchdog: skip ping loop if WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING not supported
[ Upstream commit e8cfc524eaf3c0ed88106177edb6961e202e6716 ]

Check if watchdog device supports WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING option before
entering keep_alive() ping test loop. Fix watchdog-test silently looping
if ioctl based ping is not supported by the device. Exit from test in
such case instead of getting stuck in loop executing failing keep_alive()
