kgdb, x86: Avoid invoking kgdb_nmicallback twice per NMI
Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest, I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test. Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
