[PATCH v2 2/3] kernel/reboot.c: Add orderly_reboot for graceful reboot

[Joel Stanley]

The kernel has orderly_poweroff which allows the kernel to initiate a
graceful shutdown of userspace, by running /sbin/poweroff. This adds
orderly_reboot that will cause userspace to shut itself down by calling
/sbin/reboot.

This will be used for shutdown initiated by a system controller on
platforms that do not use ACPI.

orderly_reboot() should be used when the system wants to allow userspace
to gracefully shut itself down. For cases where the system may
imminently catch on fire, the existing emergency_restart() provides an
immediate reboot without involving userspace.

V2:
 - remove unused return value from orderly_*
 - use correct command in orderly_poweroff
 - the reboot command will not have a proc knob to control it, so
   it can be made const and static
