This doesn't work when we have multiple NMI-like notifications, that
can interrupt each other.
Now that NOTIFY_SEA is always called as an NMI, move the lock-taking
to the notification helper. The helper will always know which lock
to take. This avoids ghes_copy_tofrom_phys() taking a guess based
on in_nmi().
This splits NOTIFY_NMI and NOTIFY_SEA to use different locks. All
the other notifications use ghes_proc(), and are called in process
or IRQ context. Move the spin_lock_irqsave() around their ghes_proc()
calls.
Right, should ghes_proc() be renamed to ghes_proc_irq() now, to be
absolutely clear on the processing context it is operating in?
Other than that:
