x86/nmi: Accumulate NMI-progress evidence in exc_nmi()
CPUs ignoring NMIs is often a sign of those CPUs going bad, but there
are quite a few other reasons why a CPU might ignore NMIs. Therefore,
accumulate evidence within exc_nmi() as to what might be preventing a
given CPU from responding to an NMI.
