[PATCH v3 3/3] x86/boot: attempt to print trace and panic on AP bring up stall



With the current AP bring up code, Xen can get stuck indefinitely if an AP
freezes during boot after the 'callin' step.  Introduce a 5s timeout while
waiting for APs to finish startup.

On failure of an AP to complete startup, send an NMI to trigger the
printing of a stack backtrace on the stuck AP and panic on the BSP.

This patch was done while investigating the issue caused by Intel erratum
ICX143.  It wasn't helpful in that case, but it's still and improvement
when debugging AP bring up related issues.

Changes since v2:
 - Adjust panic message to match the similar ones printed for AP start
   failures.

Changes since v1:
 - Use 5s timeout.
 - Print APICID.
 - Split NMI dispatch code movement to a pre-patch.
 - Reorder timeout check condition.
