I look into this issue and find that it's caused by 'BUG_ON(in_nmi())'
in nmi_enter(). From the call trace, we can find three interrupts which
I mark as IRQ A, B and C. By adding some prints, I find the IRQ B also
calls nmi_enter(), but its priority is not GICD_INT_NMI_PRI and its irq
number is 1023. It enables irq by calling gic_arch_enable_irqs() in
gic_handle_irq(). At this moment, IRQ C preempts the IRQ B and it's
an NMI but current context is already in nmi. So that may be the problem.

When handling spurious interrupts, we shouldn't enable irqs. That's
because for spurious interrupts we may enter nmi context in el1_irq()
because current PMR may be GIC_PRIO_IRQOFF. If we enable irqs at this
time, another NMI may happen and preempt this spurious interrupt
but the context is already in nmi. That causes a bug on if nested NMI
is not supported. Even for nested nmi, it's not a normal scenario.

Though the issue is reported on our private tree, I think it also
exists on the latest tree for the reasons above. To fix this issue,
check spurious interrupts right after the read of ICC_IAR1_EL1 and
return directly for spurious interrupts.

v2:
- Move the check right after the read of ICC_IAR1_EL1 suggested by Marc.
