Current task of executing crash kexec will be schedule out when panic is
triggered by RCU Stall, as it needs to wait rcu completion. It lead to
inability to enter the crash system.
The implementation of machine_crash_shutdown() is non-standard for RISC-V
according to other Arch's implementation(eg, x86, arm64), we need to send
IPI to stop secondary harts.
