powerpc: Avoid nmi_enter/nmi_exit in real mode interrupt.

Browse Source 
nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() touches per cpu variables which can lead to kernel
crash when invoked during real mode interrupt handling (e.g. early HMI/MCE
interrupt handler) if percpu allocation comes from vmalloc area.

Early HMI/MCE handlers are called through DEFINE_INTERRUPT_HANDLER_NMI()
wrapper which invokes nmi_enter/nmi_exit calls. We don't see any issue when
percpu allocation is from the embedded first chunk. However with
CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK enabled there are chances where percpu
allocation can come from the vmalloc area.

With kernel command line "percpu_alloc=page" we can force percpu allocation
to come from vmalloc area and can see kernel crash in machine_check_early:

[    1.215714] NIP [c000000000e49eb4] rcu_nmi_enter+0x24/0x110
[    1.215717] LR [c0000000000461a0] machine_check_early+0xf0/0x2c0

[    1.215722] [c000000fffd731b0] [0000000000000000] 0x0

Fix this by avoiding use of nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() in real mode if percpu
first chunk is not embedded.
