[PATCH v6 0/4] Provide core API for NMIs

[Julien Thierry <julien.thierry@arm.com>]

Hi,

This patch series provides a way for irqchips to define some IRQs as NMIs.

Updating this series as it is needed for the arm64 pseudo-NMI which we
are considering to merge (I'll post a new version shortly).

Changes since v5[1]:
- Added Marc's Acked-by, Reviewed-by tags
- Fixed locking bug in ready_percpu_nmi()
- Renamed ready_percpu_nmi() to prepare_percpu_nmi()
- Added documentation prepare_percpu_nmi() and teardown_percpu_nmi()

Changes since v4[2]:
- Rebased on v5.0-rc4
- Modified comment for request_percpu_nmi() to detail
  the use of per CPU NMIs a bit more

Changes since v3[3]:
- Rebased on v4.20-rc2

Changes since v2[4]:
- Fix ARM build error reported by kbuild bot
- Fix documentation warnings reported by kbuild bot

Changes since v1[5]:
- Rebased to v4.19-rc1
- Fix some coding style issues

Changes since RFC[6]:
- Rebased to v4.18-rc6
- Remove disable_nmi, one should call disable_nmi_nosync instead
- Remove code related to affinity balancing from NMI functions
- Require PERCPU configuration for NMIs
