Commit da23b6faa8bf ("watchdog: iTCO: Add support for Cannon Lake
PCH iTCO") does not mask NMI_NOW bit during TCO1_CNT register's
value comparison for update_no_reboot_bit() call causing following
failure:

   ...
   iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0
   iTCO_wdt iTCO_wdt: unable to reset NO_REBOOT flag, device
                                    disabled by hardware/BIOS
   ...

and this can lead to unexpected NMIs later during regular
crashkernel's workflow because of watchdog probe call failures.

This change masks NMI_NOW bit for TCO1_CNT register values to
avoid unexpected NMI_NOW bit inversions.

Fixes: da23b6faa8bf ("watchdog: iTCO: Add support for Cannon Lake PCH iTCO")

 V2 -> V3: Removed not necessary variable 'mask', updated multi-line comments
 V1 -> V2: Provided comments and macro define with bit description
