x86/boot: Add a message about ignored early NMIs

Commit

78a509fba9c9 ("x86/boot: Ignore NMIs during very early boot")

added an empty handler in early boot stage to avoid boot failure due to
spurious NMIs.

Add a diagnostic message to show that early NMIs have occurred.

[ bp: Touchups. ]

[ Committer note: tested by stopping the guest really early and
injecting NMIs through qemu's monitor. Result:

early console in setup code
Spurious early NMIs ignored: 13
... ]
