Wires up the systemd-shutdown side of the kexec-via-LUO fd store preservation. When rebooting via kexec, systemd builds a JSON description of the fd stores of all loaded services and passes it to systemd-shutdown through the SYSTEMD_LUO_SERIALIZE_FD environment variable. The FDs themselves come in as part of the normal shutdown FDSet. systemd-shutdown's job is then, at the very last moment before invoking the kexec syscall, to move that state into a kernel LUO session so it survives the reboot. Doing the LUO session creation here, rather than in PID 1, is deliberate: * It's the last point where we can be sure all other processes have already been killed, so nothing else can race us into creating (or worse, hijacking) the "systemd" session, as /dev/liveupdate is a singleton and a session name is global. * Any kernel-visible side effects of preserving objects (memory pinning etc.) are delayed until the absolute last moment, minimizing the window in which they could affect the running system No behaviour change for shutdown paths other than kexec, or for kexec when systemd didn't hand over a serialization fd (e.g. because no service had any fds stored, or because LUO wasn't supported at serialization time).
