x86/nmi: Enable nested do_nmi handling for 64-bit kernels
commit 9d050416 upstream. 32-bit kernels handle nested NMIs in C. Enable the exact same handling on 64-bit kernels as well. This isn't currently necessary, but it will become necessary once the asm code starts allowing limited nesting. This is a prerequisite for the fix for CVE-2015-3290.
