watchdog: s3c2410_wdt: Only register for cpufreq on ARM_S3C24XX_CPUFREQ

Browse source 
On modern SoCs the watchdog timer is parented on a clock that doesn't
change every time we have a cpufreq change.  That means we don't need
to constantly adjust the watchdog timer, so avoid registering for and
dealing with cpufreq transitions unless we've actually got
CONFIG_ARM_S3C24XX_CPUFREQ defined.

Note that this is more than just an optimization.  The s3c2410
watchdog driver actually pats the watchdog on every CPU frequency
change.  On modern systems these happen many times per second (even in
a system where "nothing" is happening).  That effectively makes any
userspace watchdog program useless (the watchdog is constantly patted
by the kernel).  If we need ARM_S3C24XX_CPUFREQ defined on a
multiplatform kernel we'll need to make sure that kernel supports
common clock and change this to user common clock framework.
