Subject: [RFT v3] tty/sysrq: Make sysrq handler NMI aware

Allow a magic sysrq to be triggered from an NMI context. This is done
via marking some sysrq actions as NMI safe. Safe actions will be allowed
to run from NMI context whilst that cannot run from an NMI will be queued
as irq_work for later processing.

The major use-case is to add NMI debugging capabilities to the kernel
in order to debug scenarios such as:
- Primary CPU is stuck in deadlock with interrupts disabled and hence
  doesn't honor serial device interrupt. So having magic sysrq triggered
  as an NMI is helpful for debugging.
- Always enabled NMI based magic sysrq irrespective of whether the serial
  TTY port is active or not.
- Apart from UART interrupts, it allows magic sysrq to be triggered from
  a diagnostic NMI interrupt on systems such as A64FX.

A particular sysrq handler is only marked as NMI safe in case the handler
isn't contending for any synchronization primitives as in NMI context
they are expected to cause deadlocks. Note that the debug sysrq do not
contend for any synchronization primitives. It does call kgdb_breakpoint()
to provoke a trap but that trap handler should be NMI safe on
architectures that implement an NMI.

Hi Hitomi Hasegawa,

Give this patch a try with diagnostic pseudo NMI interrupt on A64FX and
let me know if it works for you. Also, feel free to include this patch
along with your driver patch.

-Sumit

Changes in v3:
- Extend commit message to include use-cases.
- Get rid of redundant kfifo stuff.
- Incorporate other misc. feedback from Peter Z.

Changes in v2:
- Rebased to 5.17-rc5.
- Separate this patch from complete patch-set [1] as its relevant for
  other diagnostic NMI interrupts [2] as well apart from uart NMI
  interrupts.
- Incorporated suggestions from Doug.
