orderly_poweroff is triggered when a graceful shutdown
of system is desired. This may be used in many critical states of the
kernel such as when subsystems detects conditions such as critical
temperature conditions. However, in certain conditions in system
boot up sequences like those in the middle of driver probes being
initiated, userspace will be unable to power off the system in a clean
manner and leaves the system in a critical state. In cases like these,
the /sbin/poweroff will return success (having forked off to attempt
powering off the system. However, the system overall will fail to
completely poweroff (since other modules will be probed) and the system
is still functional with no userspace (since that would have shut itself
off).

However, there is no clean way of detecting such failure of userspace
powering off the system. In such scenarios, it is necessary for a backup
workqueue to be able to force a shutdown of the system when orderly
shutdown is not successful after a configurable time period.

Changes in v4:

  * Updated documentation
  * changed emergency_poweroff_func to thermal_emergency_poweroff_func

Changes in v3:

  * Removed unnecessary mutex init.
  * Added WARN messages instead of a simple warning message.
  * Added Documentation.

Only now I realized that merging this may break the working
orderly_poweroff() out there, because you are defaulting this to 0, no
delay, therefore giving no time for orderly_poweroff() to finish. This
is not good.

I think using 0 delay as immediate power off is not good as we give no
time for graceful shutdown, and by default. My suggestion here
is to use 0 delay as no forced shutdown. Meaning, by default, this
feature is disabled, and all other systems out there, despite DRA7 with
arago over NFS, work as before.

So, please, only schedule if delay is greater than 0. 

Also I would prefer the config is set to a local variable..

A better solution could be to have bool Kconfig, say
THERMAL_EMERGENCY_POWEROFF, which would default to false. If one selects
that option, you get the DELAY_MS configurable, and then you could get
the 0 ms still as a valid entry, with the same semantics of immediate
power off, no orderly_poweroff.

I just want to avoid breaking everybody (or changing userland
expectation) in honor of this change.

Sure. I have now used default value as no emergency shutdown.
Any positive value is taken as the delay value.
