Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const

a number of small patches:
- include notifier.h include file
- re-arrange prototype functions
- remove =0 initializations
- change printk logging levels to what's used in other drivers
- /dev/watchdog is a VFS so use nonseekable_open
- Style: Instead of "if (constant op function_or_variable)"
we prefer "if (function_or_variable op constant)"
- arg is a __user pointer
- use MAX_TIMEOUT_SECONDS instead of 32 in WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT
