In this case NMI hard-lockup can be triggered on another CPU which does nothing wrong and the trace from nmi_panic() won't help to investigate the problem. And this change "fixes" the problem we (seem to) hit in practice. - stop_two_cpus(0, 1) races with show_state_filter() running on CPU_0. - CPU_1 already spins in MULTI_STOP_PREPARE state, it detects the soft lockup and tries to report the problem. - show_state_filter() enables preemption, CPU_0 calls multi_cpu_stop() which goes to MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ state and disables interrupts. - CPU_1 spends more than 10 seconds trying to flush the log buffer to the slow serial console. - NMI interrupt on CPU_0 (which now waits for CPU_1) calls nmi_panic().
