Subject: [PATCH 5/6] x86, NMI: Allow NMI reason io port (0x61) to be processed on any CPU

In original NMI handler, NMI reason io port (0x61) is only processed
on BSP. This makes it impossible to hot-remove BSP. To solve the
issue, a raw spinlock is used to make the port can be processed on any
CPU.
