Subject: [RFC PATCH V2] x86: call smp vmxoff in smp stop

From: f00186668 <fengtiantian@...wei.com>

We need to disable VMX on all CPUs before stop cpu when OS panic,
otherwisewe risk hanging up the machine, because the CPU ignore INIT
signals when VMX is enabled. In kernel mainline this issue existence.
