Cliff Wickman 5edd19af18 x86, UV: Make kdump avoid stack dumps
UV NMI callback's should not write stack dumps when a kdump is to be written.

When invoking the crash kernel to write a dump, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
uses NMI's to get all the cpu's to save their register context and halt.

But the NMI interrupt handler runs a callback list.  This patch sets a flag
to prevent any of those callbacks from interfering with the halt of the cpu.

For UV, which currently has the only callback to which this is relevant, the
uv_handle_nmi() callback should not do dumping of stacks.

The 'in_crash_kexec' flag is defined as an extern in kdebug.h firstly
because x2apic_uv_x.c includes it.  Secondly because some future callback
might need the flag to know that it should not enter the debugger.
(Such a scenario was in fact present in the 2.6.32 kernel, SuSE distribution,
 where a call to kdb needed to be avoided.)
