[PATCH v9 5/7] arm64: ipi_debug: Add support for backtrace using the debug IPI

From: Sumit Garg <sumit.garg at linaro.org>
Enable arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() support on arm64 using the new
debug IPI. With this arm64 can now get backtraces in cases where
callers of the trigger_xyz_backtrace() class of functions don't check
the return code and implement a fallback. One example is
`kernel.softlockup_all_cpu_backtrace`. This also allows us to
backtrace hard locked up CPUs in cases where the debug IPI is backed
by an NMI (or pseudo NMI).

Changes in v9:
- Added comments that we might not be using NMI always.
- Renamed "NMI IPI" to "debug IPI" since it might not be backed by NMI.
- arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() no longer returns bool
Changes in v8:
- Removed "#ifdef CONFIG_SMP" since arm64 is always SMP
