[PATCH v4 05/25] reboot: Warn if restart handler has duplicated priority

From: Dmitry Osipenko
Date: Fri Nov 26 2021 - 13:22:53 EST


Add sanity check which ensures that there are no two restart handlers
registered with the same priority. Normally it's a direct sign of a
problem if two handlers use the same priority.
