[PATCHv3 2/4] arm64: entry: distinguish pNMI earlier in el0 interrupt

For ease of unifying code, it is helpful to lift nmi_{enter,exit}()
housekeeping from gic_handle_nmi() to el0_interrupt(). Because
gic_handle_nmi() is called by either el1 interrupt or el0, and the
housekeeping has already been done in arch level code when el1
interrupt.

Note about the original code, which calls enter_from_user_mode() in pNMI
context. Although it is weird to call rcu_eqs_exit() in the pseudo NMI
context, it has no problem. This is due to the essentiality of pNMI, a
higher priority interrupt but not akin to NMI, which allows a break-in
at any time.
