[PATCH] powerpc/books: Never call nmi_enter for real-mode NMIs

[Nicholas Piggin]

NMIs that are taken in real mode (the early MCE and HMI handlers)
skipped calling nmi_enter() in some configurations, in the hope that
more modern configurations like radix suffer fewer restrictions.  This
just turns into whack-a-mole and fragile when core kernel code changes
anything.

A recent such example that breaks with radix, an HMI real mode interrupt
tries to access vmalloc memory, causing it to take a machine check:

 --- interrupt: 200 at perf_trace_rcu_dyntick+0x140/0x190

Just disable this entirely. It turns out the features that might be
enabled by nmi_enter(), like RCU or printk are unlikely to be usable
in real mode anyway.
