ARM: 8439/1: Fix backtrace generation when IPI is masked



Currently on ARM when <SysRq-L> is triggered from an interrupt handler
(e.g. a SysRq issued using UART or kbd) the main CPU will wedge for ten
seconds with interrupts masked before issuing a backtrace for every CPU
except itself.

The new backtrace code introduced by commit 96f0e003 ("ARM: add
basic support for on-demand backtrace of other CPUs") does not work
correctly when run from an interrupt handler because IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE
is used to generate the backtrace on all CPUs but cannot preempt the
current calling context.

This can be fixed by detecting that the calling context cannot be
preempted and issuing the backtrace directly in this case. Issuing
directly leaves us without any pt_regs to pass to nmi_cpu_backtrace()
so we also modify the generic code to call dump_stack() when its
argument is NULL.
