kho: remove abort functionality and support state refresh
Previously, KHO required a dedicated kho_abort() function to clean up state before kho_finalize() could be called again. This was necessary to handle complex unwind paths when using notifiers. With the shift to direct memory preservation, the explicit abort step is no longer strictly necessary. Remove kho_abort() and refactor kho_finalize() to handle re-entry. If kho_finalize() is called while KHO is already finalized, it will now automatically clean up the previous memory map and state before generating a new one. This allows the KHO state to be updated/refreshed simply by triggering finalize again. Update debugfs to return -EINVAL if userspace attempts to write 0 to the finalize attribute, as explicit abort is no longer supported.
