x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic path

Daniel Walker reported problems which happens when
crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel option is enabled
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/24/44).

In that case, smp_send_stop() is called before entering kdump routines
which assume other CPUs are still online.  As the result, for x86, kdump
routines fail to save other CPUs' registers and disable virtualization
extensions.

To fix this problem, call a new kdump friendly function,
crash_smp_send_stop(), instead of the smp_send_stop() when
crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled.  crash_smp_send_stop() is a weak
function, and it just call smp_send_stop().  Architecture codes should
override it so that kdump can work appropriately.  This patch only
provides x86-specific version.

For Xen's PV kernel, just keep the current behavior.

NOTES:

- Right solution would be to place crash_smp_send_stop() before
  __crash_kexec() invocation in all cases and remove smp_send_stop(), but
  we can't do that until all architectures implement own
  crash_smp_send_stop()

- crash_smp_send_stop()-like work is still needed by
  machine_crash_shutdown() because crash_kexec() can be called without
  entering panic()

Fixes: 44c9451763d3 (kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option)
