KGDB: x86: Avoid invoking kgdb_nmicallback twice per NMI

KGDB: x86: Avoid invoking kgdb_nmicallback twice per NMI

[Jan Kiszka]

Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest,
I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test.
Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I
noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via
DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first
invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here.
