Backport PR #16091 to 202211
Why I did it
watchdogutil uses platform API watchdog instance to control/query watchdog status. In Nvidia watchdog status, it caches "armed" status in a object member "WatchdogImplBase.armed". This is not working for CLI infrastructure because each CLI will create a new watchdog instance, the status cached in previous instance will totally lose. Consider following commands:
Work item tracking

Use sysfs to query watchdog status
