Introduce a system restart handler call chain to solve the described problems.

So someone has merged eight of these patches into linux-next but these
three:

watchdog-s3c2410-add-restart-handler.patch
clk-samsung-register-restart-handlers-for-s3c2412-and-s3c2443.patch
clk-rockchip-add-restart-handler.patch

were omitted. What's up?

Most likely PBKC on my side; Looks like I forgot to add those when I created
the immutable branch for others to merge. Sorry for that :-(.

Having said that, I somehow thought that the clock patches would go in through
the clock tree. Heiko, did I get that wrong ? Separately, I sent a pull request
that includes the watchdog patch to Wim.

So far, that immutable branch has been merged into the battery tree
(and thus into linux-next) by Sebastian in order to add (I assume):

18a702e0de98 power: reset: use restart_notifier mechanism for msm-poweroff
371bb20d6927 power: Add simple gpio-restart driver

on top of it.

So, I guess the watchdog and clk trees also need to merge that
immutable branch and then add their respective patches from the mmotm
series to their trees.

Yes, and now I remember why I did not include those patches: They are not
authored by myself. I thought it was not appropriate for me to include them
in the branch I created. Maybe flawed thinking, but that was my reasoning.
