Subject: [PATCH V4] kdb: Fix the deadlock issue in KDB debugging.

Currently, if CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD is enabled, then kgdboc will
attempt to use schedule_work() to provoke a keyboard reset when
transitioning out of the debugger and back to normal operation.
This can cause deadlock because schedule_work() is not NMI-safe.

The stack trace below shows an example of the problem. In this
case the master cpu is not running from NMI but it has parked
the slave CPUs using an NMI and the parked CPUs is holding
spinlocks needed by schedule_work().

example:
 BUG: spinlock lockup suspected on CPU#0, namex/10450
 lock: 0xffff881ffe823980, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: namexx/21888, .owner_cpu: 1
