Changes the it87 watchdog drivers to use "request_muxed_region".
Serialize access to the hardware by using "request_muxed_region" macro defined
by Alan Cox. Call to this macro will hold off the requestor if the resource is
currently busy.
The use of the above macro makes it possible to get rid of
spinlocks in it8712f_wdt.c and it87_wdt.c watchdog drivers.
This also greatly simplifies the implementation of it87_wdt.c driver.
"superio_enter" will return an error if call to "request_muxed_region" fails.
Rest of the code change is to ripple an error return from superio_enter to
the top level.

This patch adds support for a watchdog in IT8721F Super IO
chip to it87_wdt driver.
This new chips differ from the older IT87xxxF chips
in the following ways:
* WDT_GAMEPORT is not in IT8721F.
* WDT_PWROK is not in IT8721F.

This patch adds support for watchdogs with 8b timers, like ones in
IT8702F and older revisions of IT8712F Super IO chip, to it87_wdt
driver. This patch should be used after the patch
'it87_wdt: Add support for IT8720F watchdog'.
