[PATCH] arm:kexec: have own crash_smp_send_stop() for crash dump for nonpanic cores

[Hoeun Ryu <hoeun.ryu@gmail.com>]

 Commit 0ee5941 : (x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly
version in panic path) introduced crash_smp_send_stop() which is a weak
function and can be overriden by architecture codes to fix the side effect
caused by commit f06e515 : (kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_
notifiers" option).

 ARM architecture uses the weak version function and the problem is that
the weak function simply calls smp_send_stop() which makes other CPUs
offline and takes away the chance to save crash information for nonpanic
CPUs in machine_crash_shutdown() when crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel
option is enabled.

 Calling smp_call_function(machine_crash_nonpanic_core, NULL, false) in
the function is useless because all nonpanic CPUs are already offline by
smp_send_stop() in this case and smp_call_function() only works against
online CPUs.

 The result is that /proc/vmcore is not available with the error messages;
"Warning: Zero PT_NOTE entries found", "Kdump: vmcore not initialized".

 crash_smp_send_stop() is implemented for ARM architecture to fix this
problem and the function (strong symbol version) saves crash information
for nonpanic CPUs using smp_call_function() and machine_crash_shutdown()
saves crash information only for the panic CPU.

 We might be able to implement the function like arm64 or x86 using a
dedicated IPI (let's say IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP), but we cannot implement this
function like that because of the lack of IPI slot. Please see the commit
e7273ff4 : (ARM: 8488/1: Make IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE a "non-secure" SGI)
