Subject: [RFC v2 10/16] luo: luo_ioctl: add ioctl interface

Introduce the user-space interface for the Live Update Orchestrator
via ioctl commands, enabling external control over the live update
process and management of preserved resources.

Create a misc character device at /dev/liveupdate. Access
to this device requires the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.

A new UAPI header, <uapi/linux/liveupdate.h>, defines the necessary
structures. The magic number is registered in
Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst.

+ * - %LIVEUPDATE_STATE_NORMAL:   Default state; no live update operation is
+ *                               currently in progress.
+ * - %LIVEUPDATE_STATE_PREPARED: The preparation phase (triggered by
+ *                               %LIVEUPDATE_IOCTL_EVENT_PREPARE) has completed
+ *                               successfully. The system is ready for the
+ *                               reboot transition initiated by
+ *                               %LIVEUPDATE_IOCTL_EVENT_FREEZE. Note that some

+ *                               mappings) might be restricted in this state.
+ * - %LIVEUPDATE_STATE_UPDATED:  The system has successfully rebooted into the
+ *                               new kernel via live update. It is now running
+ *                               the new kernel code and is awaiting the
+ *                               completion signal from user space via
+ *                               %LIVEUPDATE_IOCTL_EVENT_FINISH after
+ *                               restoration tasks are done.
+ *
+ * See the definition of &enum liveupdate_state for more details on each state.
+ * This is an I/O read operation (kernel writes to the user-provided pointer).
