When the inputed usec is too large we process it in chunks of
CONFIG_WD_PERIOD size. Subtracting this from usec until usec is
zero. If usec is not an integer multiple of CONFIG_WD_PERIOD it
will underflow and the condition will not become false when it
should. Fix this logic.

Hmm, I'm not sure where I saw the problem before, I think I may have
tried to optimize it and broke it myself, oh well, this patch can safely
be ignored.

Thanks,
