Subject: [PATCH v3 05/25] reboot: Warn if restart handler has duplicated priority

From: Dmitry Osipenko <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2021 03:45:04 +0300

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.
