Subject: [PATCH V2] poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff

orderly_poweroff is trying to poweroff platform by two steps:
step 1: Call userspace application to poweroff
step 2: If userspace poweroff fail, then do a force power off if force param is set.

The bug here is, step 1 is always successful with param UMH_NO_WAIT,
should change to UMH_WAIT_EXEC which will monitor whether user application successful run.
