WDOG: Output status on read

Currently, the `read` function of the watchdog device is dummy and
does nothing. Although this is fine, it's not useful at all from a
userspace perspective, where you may want to check the current WDOG
status.

A wrapper around the `ioctl` `WDIOC_GETSTATUS` has been added as
the `read` function for the WDOG.
