Subject: [PATCH v4 7/8] arm64: fix kernel stack overflow in kdump capture kernel

From: Wei Li <liwei391@...wei.com>

When enabling ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI feature in kdump capture kernel, it will
report a kernel stack overflow exception:

The reason is init_gic_priority_masking() may unmask PSR.I while the
irq stacks are not inited yet. Some "NMI" could be raised unfortunately
and it will just go into this exception.

In this patch, we just write the PMR in smp_prepare_boot_cpu(), and delay
unmasking PSR.I after irq stacks inited in init_IRQ().
