[PATCH v2] ARM: kexec: Make smp stop calls asynchronous

["Mårten Lindahl" <marten.lindahl@axis.com>]

If a panic is triggered by a hrtimer interrupt all online cpus will be
notified and set offline. But as highlighted by commit 19dbdcb8039c
("smp: Warn on function calls from softirq context") this call should
not be made synchronous with disabled interrupts:

  softdog: Initiating panic
  Kernel panic - not syncing: Software Watchdog Timer expired
  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/smp.c:753 smp_call_function_many_cond
    unwind_backtrace:
      show_stack
      dump_stack_lvl
      __warn
      warn_slowpath_fmt
      smp_call_function_many_cond
      smp_call_function
      crash_smp_send_stop.part.0
      machine_crash_shutdown
      __crash_kexec
      panic
      softdog_fire
      __hrtimer_run_queues
      hrtimer_interrupt

Make the smp call for machine_crash_nonpanic_core() asynchronous.
