Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kernel/reboot: Use the static sys-off handler for any priority

commit 587b9bfe0668 ("kernel/reboot: Use static handler for
register_platform_power_off()") addded a statically-allocated handler
so register_sys_off_handler() could be called before the slab allocator
is available.

That behavior was limited to the SYS_OFF_PRIO_PLATFORM priority.
However, it is also required for handlers such as PSCI on ARM, which
needs to be registered at SYS_OFF_PRIO_FIRMWARE. Currently, this call
stack crashes:

  start_kernel()
    setup_arch()
      psci_dt_init()
        psci_0_2_init()
          register_sys_off_handler()
            kmem_cache_alloc()

Generalize the code to use the statically-allocated handler for the
first registration, regardless of priority. Check .sys_off_cb for
conflicts instead of .cb_data; some callbacks (e.g. firmware) do not
need any per-instance data, so .cb_data could be NULL.
