Subject: [PATCH] [WARM-REBOOT] fix issue of watchdog on simx when executing
 warm-reboot command (#8132)

- Why I did it
to prevent python exception error when executing warm-reboot command on mellanox simulator platform

- How I did it
return None on the watchdog python script on cases that watchdog file is not exist

- How to verify it
warm-reboot is running well without the python error. error message will appear on log on these cases.
in order to avoid this error message we can simulate the watchdog on mellanox simulator platform
