poweroff: change orderly_poweroff() to use schedule_work() 

David said:

    Commit 6c0c0d4d10 ("poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff()")
    apparently fixes one bug in orderly_poweroff(), but introduces
    another.  The comments on orderly_poweroff() claim it can be called
    from any context - and indeed we call it from interrupt context in
    arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ras.c for example.  But since that
    commit this is no longer safe, since call_usermodehelper_fns() is not
    safe in interrupt context without the UMH_NO_WAIT option.

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.
