[PATCH v2 2/2] arm64: sdei: abort running SDEI handlers during crash

Interrupts are blocked in SDEI context, per the SDEI spec: "The client
interrupts cannot preempt the event handler." If we crashed in the SDEI
handler-running context (as with ACPI's AGDI) then we need to clean up the
SDEI state before proceeding to the crash kernel so that the crash kernel
can have working interrupts.

Track the active SDEI handler per-cpu so that we can COMPLETE_AND_RESUME
the handler, discarding the interrupted context.

Hi James, I added the per-cpu active event info instead of the stack pointer
comparison you suggested for the purpose of handling the case where a critical
event handler interrupts a normal event handler. I actually started adding it
to get at the interrupted stack pointer, but then realized I could just use the
active event info itself. This does leave a small gap where a critical event
could interrput a normal event before or after the setting or clearing of the
per-cpu active info. I suppose it could be covered by adding in _end labels to
__sdei_entry_trampoline, __sdei_exit_trampoline, and __sdei_asm_handler, and
checking for the critical event's interrupted pc within those functions. I
didn't do that here in the thinking that this is good enough, thoughts on that?

Changes since v1:
- Store the active SDEI event being handled per-cpu, use the per-cpu active
  handler information to know when to abort.
- Add prints before attempting to abort sdei handlers.
