Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] arm64: smp: Introduce a new IPI as IPI_CALL_NMI_FUNC

Introduce a new inter processor interrupt as IPI_CALL_NMI_FUNC that
can be invoked to run special handlers in NMI context. One such handler
example is kgdb_nmicallback() which is invoked in order to round up CPUs
to enter kgdb context.

As currently pseudo NMIs are supported on specific arm64 platforms which
incorporates GICv3 or later version of interrupt controller. In case a
particular platform doesn't support pseudo NMIs, IPI_CALL_NMI_FUNC will
act as a normal IPI which can still be used to invoke special handlers.
