wdt-on-panic: remove overrides from meta-phosphor
If these are needed, they really should be done within the meta-aspeed layer. This was originally done to allow the BMC hardware watchdogs to control the reboot of the BMC in error scenarios vs. the kernel auto rebooting itself. This is causing issues on AST2600 hardware because the watchdogs are not setup correctly. Kernel panics result in the BMC becoming unusable and not rebooting, requiring a manual power cycle. The goal with letting the hardware watchdogs control the reboot was that fancy things like flash side switches could be performed for recovery scenarios. However the end to end software stack for this was never fully implemented so if a flash side switch did occur, there would be no notice to the user of the system, and in most cases the BMC was still inoperable because the network settings were missing. For now, we should just go back to the defaults built into the meta-aspeed layer which is to panic on oops and have the kernel immediately reboot the BMC when a panic occurs. Once we iron out the watchdog usage, we can look into changing these back in the meta-aspeed layer if needed.
