[LTP] [PATCH v2] runtest/fs: filter /dev/watchdog* for read_all_dev by default

On some distros with Magic Close feature or built-in CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT,
just closing /dev/watchdog* enabled by open leads to system reboot as expected.

If Magic Close feature is supported, just writing a specific magic character 'V'
into /dev/watchdog* before closing it can disable the watchdog.

If CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT is built-in, there is no way to disable the watchdog.

Magic Close feature is introduced by:
commit 017cf080("watchDog Timer Driver Core - Add Magic Close feature")

Please see the following url for detailed watchdog info:
