Subject[PATCH 1/1] poweroff: change orderly_poweroff() to use schedule_work()
orderly_poweroff() can be used from any context but UMH_WAIT_EXEC
is sleepable. Move the "force" logic into __orderly_poweroff() and
change orderly_poweroff() to use the global poweroff_work which
simply calls __orderly_poweroff().

While at it, remove the unneeded "int argc" and change argv_split()
to use GFP_KERNEL.

We use the global "bool poweroff_force" to pass the argument, this
can obviously affect the previous request if it is pending/running.
So we only allow the "false => true" transition assuming that the
pending "true" should succeed anyway. If schedule_work() fails after
that we know that work->func() was not called yet, it must see the
new value.

This means that orderly_poweroff() becomes async even if we do not
run the command and always succeeds, schedule_work() can only fail
if the work is already pending. We can export __orderly_poweroff()
and change the non-atomic callers which want the old semantics.
