x86/reboot: Force all cpus to exit VMX root if VMX is supported
commit ed72736183c45a413a8d6974dd04be90f514cb6b upstream. Force all CPUs to do VMXOFF (via NMI shootdown) during an emergency reboot if VMX is _supported_, as VMX being off on the current CPU does not prevent other CPUs from being in VMX root (post-VMXON). This fixes a bug where a crash/panic reboot could leave other CPUs in VMX root and prevent them from being woken via INIT-SIPI-SIPI in the new kernel.
