Orderly power off is supposed to take care of this. Looking at the code,
it will force a shutdown in case execution of userland command fails:
static int __orderly_poweroff(bool force)
{
int ret;
ret = run_cmd(poweroff_cmd);
if (ret && force) {
pr_warn("Failed to start orderly shutdown: forcing the issue\n");
/*
* I guess this should try to kick off some daemon to sync and
* poweroff asap. Or not even bother syncing if we're doing an
* emergency shutdown?
*/
emergency_sync();
kernel_power_off();
}
