[PATCH v2 4/6] arm64: broadcast IPIs to pause remote CPUs

[Yu Zhao <yuzhao@google.com>]

Broadcast pseudo-NMI IPIs to pause remote CPUs for a short period of
time, and then reliably resume them when the local CPU exits critical
sections that preclude the execution of remote CPUs.

A typical example of such critical sections is BBM on kernel PTEs.
HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization (HVO) on arm64 was disabled by
commit 060a2c92d1b6 ("arm64: mm: hugetlb: Disable
HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP") due to the folllowing reason:

  This is deemed UNPREDICTABLE by the Arm architecture without a
  break-before-make sequence (make the PTE invalid, TLBI, write the
  new valid PTE). However, such sequence is not possible since the
  vmemmap may be concurrently accessed by the kernel.

Supporting BBM on kernel PTEs is one of the approaches that can make
HVO safe on arm64.
