x86/nmi: Fix page faults by nmiaction if kmemcheck is enabled
This patch tries to fix the problem of page fault exception caused by accessing nmiaction structure in nmi if kmemcheck is enabled. If kmemcheck is enabled, the memory allocated through slab are in pages that are marked non-present, so that some checks could be done in the page fault handling code ( e.g. whether the memory is read before written to ). As nmiaction is allocated in this way, so it resides in a non-present page. Then there is a page fault while the nmi code accessing the nmiaction structure, which would then cause a warning by WARN_ON_ONCE(in_nmi()) in kmemcheck_fault(), called by do_page_fault(). This significantly simplifies the code as well, as the whole dynamic allocation dance goes away. v2: as Peter suggested, changed the nmiaction to use static storage. v3: as Peter suggested, use macro to shorten the codes. Also keep the original usage of register_nmi_handler, so users of this call doesn't need change.
