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.
