Subject: [PATCH v11 5/6] arm64: smp: IPI_CPU_STOP and IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP should try for NMI

There's no reason why IPI_CPU_STOP and IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP can't be
handled as NMI. They are very simple and everything in them is
NMI-safe. Mark them as things to use NMI for if NMI is available.

Reviewed-by: Stephen Boyd <swboyd@...omium.org>

I don't actually have any good way to test/validate this patch. It's
added to the series at Mark's request.

(no changes since v10)

Changes in v10:
- ("IPI_CPU_STOP and IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP should try for NMI") new for v10.
