[PATCH 4.14 045/159] x86/entry/64: De-Xen-ify our NMI code

Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit 929bacec21478a72c78e4f29f98fb799bd00105a upstream.

Xen PV is fundamentally incompatible with our fancy NMI code: it
doesn't use IST at all, and Xen entries clobber two stack slots
below the hardware frame.

Drop Xen PV support from our NMI code entirely.
