x86/reboot: Execute the kernel restart handler upon machine restart
SoC devices like the Intel / MaxLinear Lightning Mountain must be reset by the
Reset Control Unit (RCU) instead of using "normal" x86 mechanisms like ACPI,
BIOS, KBD, etc.
Therefore, the RCU driver (reset-intel-gw) registers a restart handler which
triggers the global reset signal.
Unfortunately, this is of no use as long as the restart chain is not processed
during reboot on x86 systems.
That's why do_kernel_restart() must be called when a reboot is performed. This
has long been common practice for other architectures.
