x86/boot: Ignore NMIs during very early boot

When there are two racing NMIs on x86, the first NMI invokes NMI handler and
the 2nd NMI is latched until IRET is executed.

If panic on NMI and panic kexec are enabled, the first NMI triggers
panic and starts booting the next kernel via kexec. Note that the 2nd
NMI is still latched. During the early boot of the next kernel, once
an IRET is executed as a result of a page fault, then the 2nd NMI is
unlatched and invokes the NMI handler.

However, NMI handler is not set up at the early stage of boot, which
results in a boot failure.

Avoid such problems by setting up a NOP handler for early NMIs.
