The do_trap_break is for ebreak instruction, not NMI. RISC-V NMI has
separate CSR. ref:

This proposal adds support for resumable non-maskable interrupts
(RNMIs) to RISC-V. The extension adds four new CSRs (`mnepc`,
`mncause`, `mnstatus`, and `mnscratch`) to hold the interrupted state,
and a new instruction to resume from the RNMI handler.

If nmi comes from user_mode, why we using
irqenrty_enter/exit_from/to_user_mode instead of
irqentry_nmi_enter/exit?

I think the shape of the riscv NMI handler looks a little like this:

asmlinkage __visible __trap_section void do_trap_nmi(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
                 irqentry_state_t state = irqentry_nmi_enter(regs);
                 do_nmi_trap();
                 irqentry_nmi_exit(regs, state);
}
