SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 2/2] livepatch: force transition process to finish

The process that is actually being suggested here (and towards which the
implementation is heading) is that in case of the convergence being stuck
for unknown reason, the admin of the system collects all the necessary
data (namely stacktraces of the relevant tasks), and requests a clearance
from the livepatch distributor to force the transition.

But I agree with you that this might not be completely clear from the
documentation, and should be made more explicit.

Thanks,
