Can we move this into the arch code? Its because we got here from a
synchronous-exception that makes this nmi-like, I think it only makes sense for
it be called from under /arch/.
Where did the rcu_read_lock() go? I can see its missing from ghes_notify_nmi()
too, but I don't know enough about RCU to know if that's safe!
The second paragraph in the comment above rcu_read_lock() describes it as
preventing call_rcu() during a read-side critical section that was running
concurrently. Doesn't this mean we can race with ghes_sea_remove() on another
CPU because we wait for the wrong grace period?
The same comment talks about how these read-side critical sections can nest, so
I think its quite safe to make these 'lock' calls here.

ghes_nmi_remove() has:

This 'waits until a grace period has elapsed'. This is because ghes_remove()
goes and kfree()s the ghes object while another CPU may be holding that entry in
the list in ghes_notify_sea().

These three weren't mentioned in the commit message. I guess they are drive-by
cleanup?
