It seems that poll_crash_ipi_and_callback (now renamed to run_crash_ipi_callback)
is referred for UP if CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y, and it causes a build error
as below.  run_crash_ipi_callback refers crash_ipi_issued and crash_nmi_callback,
which are defined only if CONFIG_SMP=y.  So we need to defined it separately
for SMP and UP.

I'll resend this patch later.
