[RFC PATCH 3/4] powerpc/64s: Wire up arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace()

This allows eg. the RCU stall detector, or the soft/hardlockup
detectors to trigger a backtrace on all CPUs.

We implement this by sending a "safe" NMI, which will actually only
send an IPI. Unfortunately the generic code prints "NMI", so that's a
little confusing but we can probably live with it.

If one of the CPUs doesn't respond to the IPI, we then print some info
from it's paca and do a backtrace based on its saved_r1.

Example output:

  INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
  	2-...0: (0 ticks this GP) idle=1be/1/4611686018427387904 softirq=1055/1055 fqs=25735
  	(detected by 4, t=58847 jiffies, g=58, c=57, q=1258)
  Sending NMI from CPU 4 to CPUs 2:
  CPU 2 didn't respond to backtrace IPI, inspecting paca.
  irq_soft_mask: 0x01 in_mce: 0 in_nmi: 0 current: 3623 (bash)
  Back trace of paca->saved_r1 (0xc0000000e1c83ba0) (possibly stale):
