hw_protection_shutdown() will kick off an orderly shutdown and if that

Recently, hw_protection_reboot() was added for those systems that don't
implement a proper shutdown and are better served by rebooting and
having the boot firmware worry about doing something about the critical
condition.

On timeout of the orderly reboot of hw_protection_reboot(), the system
would go into shutdown, instead of reboot. This is not a good idea, as
going into shutdown was explicitly not asked for.

Fix this by always doing an emergency reboot if hw_protection_reboot()
is called and the orderly reboot takes too long.

nit: Do we have a (theoretical) possibility that two emergency restarts get scheduled with different actions? Should the action be allocated (maybe not) for each caller, or should there be a check if an operation with conflicting action is already scheduled?

If this was already considered and thought it is not an issue:
