Subject: [PATCH v7 02/22] liveupdate: luo_core: integrate with KHO

Integrate the LUO with the KHO framework to enable passing LUO state
across a kexec reboot.

This patch implements the lifecycle integration with KHO:

1. Incoming State: During early boot (`early_initcall`), LUO checks if
   KHO is active. If so, it retrieves the "LUO" subtree, verifies the
   "luo-v1" compatibility string, and reads the `liveupdate-number` to
   track the update count.

2. Outgoing State: During late initialization (`late_initcall`), LUO
   allocates a new FDT for the next kernel, populates it with the basic
   header (compatible string and incremented update number), and
   registers it with KHO (`kho_add_subtree`).

3. Finalization: The `liveupdate_reboot()` notifier is updated to invoke
   `kho_finalize()`. This ensures that all memory segments marked for
   preservation are properly serialized before the kexec jump.

LUO now depends on `CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER`.

+/**
+ * DOC: Live Update Orchestrator ABI
+ *
+ * This header defines the stable Application Binary Interface used by the
+ * Live Update Orchestrator to pass state from a pre-update kernel to a
+ * post-update kernel. The ABI is built upon the Kexec HandOver framework
+ * and uses a Flattened Device Tree to describe the preserved data.
+ *
+ * This interface is a contract. Any modification to the FDT structure, node
+ * properties, compatible strings, or the layout of the `__packed` serialization
+ * structures defined here constitutes a breaking change. Such changes require
+ * incrementing the version number in the relevant `_COMPATIBLE` string to
+ * prevent a new kernel from misinterpreting data from an old kernel.
+ *
+ * FDT Structure Overview:
+ *   The entire LUO state is encapsulated within a single KHO entry named "LUO".
+ *   This entry contains an FDT with the following layout:
+ *
+ *   .. code-block:: none
+ *
+ *     / {
+ *         compatible = "luo-v1";
+ *         liveupdate-number = <...>;
+ *     };
+ *
+ * Main LUO Node (/):
+ *
+ *   - compatible: "luo-v1"
+ *     Identifies the overall LUO ABI version.
+ *   - liveupdate-number: u64
+ *     A counter tracking the number of successful live updates performed.
