Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/4] x86/entry, nmi: Disable #DB

Instead of playing stupid games with IST stacks, fully disallow #DB
during NMIs. There is absolutely no reason to allow them, and killing
this saves a heap of trouble.

We already disallow #BD on noinstr and CEA, so we can't get #DB before
this, and this ensures we can't get it after this either.
