x86: Convert some devices to use DIE_NMIUNKNOWN
They are a handful of places in the code that register a die_notifier
as a catch all in case no claims the NMI. Unfortunately, they trigger
on events like DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, which depending on when they
registered may collide with other handlers that have the ability to
determine if the NMI is theirs or not.
The function unknown_nmi_error() makes one last effort to walk the
die_chain when no one else has claimed the NMI before spitting out
messages that the NMI is unknown.
This is a better spot for these devices to execute any code without
colliding with the other handlers.
The two drivers modified are only compiled on x86 arches I believe, so
they shouldn't be affected by other arches that may not have
DIE_NMIUNKNOWN defined.
