This is how I get:
[ 30:033439] watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!
[ 30:132702] watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!
How can I get rid of this message? My desktop information is:

Add nmi_watchdog=0 nowatchdog after quiet in line starting
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" of your /etc/default/grub.
Then run
sudo update grub
and reboot.

Unfortunately this solution and these two solutions combined cannot make it disappear.
Now it is:
[ 668:438999] watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!
[ 668:559269] watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!
What does this mean?
/etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Manjaro"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nmi_watchdog=0 nowatchdog loglevel=3 udev.log_priority=3"

And it seems that it only happens when rebooting. This does not happen on my old surface pro either

Create the file /etc/modprobe.d/watchdog.conf by
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/watchdog.conf
with following content:
# Blacklist unwanted drivers
blacklist iTCO_wdt
blacklist iTCO_vendor_support
Afterwards exececute
sudo update-grub
and reboot.

Only this would be OK. But I got a stuck yesterday evening when I was rebooting. I cannot reproduce it now.
Update 9.20:
It happens again and the solution by @Wollie does not work now.
