When I had lockdep turned on and dropped into kgdb I got a nice splat
on my system. Specifically it hit:
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirq_context)
Specifically it looked like this:
sysrq: SysRq : DEBUG
------------[ cut here ]------------
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirq_context)

Looking closely at it, it seems like a really bad idea to be calling
local_irq_enable() in kgdb_roundup_cpus(). If nothing else that seems
like it could violate spinlock semantics and cause a deadlock.
Instead, let's use a private csd alongside
smp_call_function_single_async() to round up the other CPUs. Using
smp_call_function_single_async() doesn't require interrupts to be
enabled so we can remove the offending bit of code.
In order to avoid duplicating this across all the architectures that
use the default kgdb_roundup_cpus(), we'll add a "weak" implementation
to debug_core.c.
Looking at all the people who previously had copies of this code,
there were a few variants. I've attempted to keep the variants
working like they used to. Specifically:
* For arch/arc we passed NULL to kgdb_nmicallback() instead of
get_irq_regs().
* For arch/mips there was a bit of extra code around
kgdb_nmicallback()

Changes in v2:
- Removing irq flags separated from fixing lockdep splat.
- Don't use smp_call_function (Daniel).
