      Summary

      The JQL searches "watcher !=" and "watcher not in" are not working properly, they will return only issues where the watcher is not null, neither the referred user.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a new project (ex: TEST)
      2. Create a new issue (ex: TEST-1)
      3. Create two users, admin1 and admin2
      4. Perform the JQL search: project = TEST and watcher != admin1, it will not return any issue.
      5. Add admin2 as watcher in TEST-1.
      6. Perform the JQL search: project = TEST and watcher != admin1, it will return the issue TEST-1.

      Expected Results
