[PATCH v2 6/8] liveupdate: Auto unregister FLBs on file handler unregistration

From: Pasha Tatashin

Date: Wed Mar 18 2026 - 10:34:35 EST


To ensure that unregistration is always successful and doesn't leave
dangling resources, introduce auto-unregistration of FLBs: when a file
handler is unregistered, all FLBs associated with it are automatically
unregistered.

Introduce a new helper luo_flb_unregister_all() which unregisters all
FLBs linked to the given file handler.
