[PATCH v3] powerpc: Avoid nmi_enter/nmi_exit in real mode interrupt.

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
[ 1.215719] --- interrupt: 200
[ 1.215720] [c000000fffd73180] [0000000000000000] 0x0 (unreliable)
[ 1.215722] [c000000fffd731b0] [0000000000000000] 0x0
[ 1.215724] [c000000fffd73210] [c000000000008364] machine_check_early_common+0x134/0x1f8
Fix this by avoiding use of nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() in real mode if percpu
first chunk is not embedded.

Changes in v3:
- Address comments from Christophe Leroy to avoid using #ifdefs in the
code
- v2 at https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20240205053647.1763446-1-mahesh@linux.ibm.com/
Changes in v2:
- Rebase to upstream master
- Use jump_labels, if CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is enabled, to avoid redoing the
embed first chunk test at each interrupt entry.
- v1 is at https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/164578465828.74956.6065296024817333750.stgit@jupiter/
