How did you search? You might want to do  a  case-insensitive  search
for watchdog_init and watchdog_reset. There is some CPP trickery
involved.

Wrong, INIT_FUNC_WATCHDOG_INIT get's called by global init code -  at
least   on   the   architectures  where  watchdog  support  has  been
implemented. For reference, please see the PPC code.

Wrong, this is being done globally.

Search watchdog_reset ignoring case so you will find for example
INIT_FUNC_WATCHDOG_RESET as well...
