Subject: [RFC v2 12/16] reboot: call liveupdate_reboot() before kexec

Modify the reboot() syscall handler in kernel/reboot.c to call
liveupdate_reboot() when processing the LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_KEXEC
command.

This ensures that the Live Update Orchestrator is notified just
before the kernel executes the kexec jump. The liveupdate_reboot()
function triggers the final LIVEUPDATE_REBOOT event, allowing
participating subsystems to perform last-minute state saving within
the blackout window, and transitions the LUO state machine to FROZEN.

The call is placed immediately before kernel_kexec() to ensure LUO
finalization happens at the latest possible moment before the kernel
transition.

If liveupdate_reboot() returns an error (indicating a failure during
LUO finalization), the kexec operation is aborted to prevent proceeding
with an inconsistent state.
