[PATCH v3 3/3] Enable soft nmi handler

a. On decrementer interrupt, instead of setting
   dec to maximum and returning, we do the following
  i. Call a function handle_nmi_dec, which in
     turn calls handle_soft_nmi
  ii. handle_soft_nmi sets the decrementer value
      to 1 second and checks if more than 30
      seconds have passed since starting it. If
      so it calls BUG_ON(1), we can do an NMI
      panic as well.

This patch relies on the previous patch to keep
interrupts enabled and held at the previous
priority (not EOI'd) when we disable interrupts.
