watchdog: Get rid of MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV statements

I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.

Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.

Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.

On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!

If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.

Merge branch 'drm-fixes' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux

We've accrued a few too many conflicts, but the real reason is that I
want to merge the 100% solution for Haswell concurrent registers
writes into drm-intel-next. But that depends upon the 90% bandaid
merged into -fixes:

commit a7cd1b8fea2f341b626b255d9898a5ca5fabbf0a

drm/i915: Serialize almost all register access

Also, we can roll up on accrued conflicts.

Usually I'd backmerge a tagged -rc, but I want to get this done before
heading off to vacations next week ;-)

v2: For added hilarity we have a init sequence conflict around the
