ghes_copy_tofrom_phys() takes different locks depending on in_nmi(). This doesn't work if there are multiple NMI-like notifications, that can interrupt each other. Now that NOTIFY_SEA is always called in the same context, move the lock-taking to the notification helper. The helper will always know which lock to take. This avoids ghes_copy_tofrom_phys() taking a guess based on in_nmi(). This splits NOTIFY_NMI and NOTIFY_SEA to use different locks. All the other notifications use ghes_proc(), and are called in process or IRQ context. Move the spin_lock_irqsave() around their ghes_proc() calls.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
