arm64: smp: avoid NMI IPIs with broken MediaTek FW
Some MediaTek devices have broken firmware which corrupts some GICR registers behind the back of the OS, and pseudo-NMIs cannot be used on these devices. For more details see commit: 44bd78dd ("irqchip/gic-v3: Disable pseudo NMIs on Mediatek devices w/ firmware issues") We did not take this problem into account in commit: 331a1b3a ("arm64: smp: Add arch support for backtrace using pseudo-NMI") Since that commit arm64's SMP code will try to setup some IPIs as pseudo-NMIs, even on systems with broken FW. The GICv3 code will (rightly) reject attempts to request interrupts as pseudo-NMIs, resulting in boot-time failures. Avoid the problem by taking the broken FW into account when deciding to request IPIs as pseudo-NMIs. The GICv3 driver maintains a static_key named "supports_pseudo_nmis" which is false on systems with broken FW, and we can consult this within ipi_should_be_nmi().
