[PATCH v1 1/3] liveupdate: skip serialization for context-preserving kexec

[Pasha Tatashin]

A preserve_context kexec returns to the current kernel, which
is unrelated to live update where the state is passed to the next
kernel. Skip liveupdate_reboot() in this case to avoid serialization
and prevent sessions from being left in a frozen state upon return.

Fixes: db8bed8082dc ("kexec: call liveupdate_reboot() before kexec")
