[PATCH v14 02/16] preempt: Track NMI nesting to separate per-CPU counter

[Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>]

From: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com>

Move NMI nesting tracking from the preempt_count bits to a separate per-CPU
counter (nmi_nesting). This is to free up the NMI bits in the preempt_count,
allowing those bits to be repurposed for other uses.  This also has the benefit
of tracking more than 16-levels deep if there is ever a need.

Reduce multiple bits in preempt_count for NMI tracking. Reduce NMI_BITS
from 3 to 1, using it only to detect if we're in an NMI.
