Jean Delvare 3a6a399cfb watchdog: Delete the cpu5wdt driver
This driver has a number of issues (accesses arbitrary I/O ports
without identifying the hardware, doesn't document what hardware it
supports, suspiciously inconsistent locking model, doesn't implement
WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT, potential integer overflow...)

The driver was added in 2003 and there's no evidence that it has any
recent user, all changes seem to be tree-wide, subsystem-wide, or the
result of static code analysis. So I believe we should simply drop
this legacy piece of code.
