[PATCH v2] efi/unaccepted: touch soft lockup during memory accept

[Chen Yu]

Commit 50e782a86c98 ("efi/unaccepted: Fix soft lockups caused
by parallel memory acceptance") has released the spinlock so
other CPUs can do memory acceptance in parallel and not
triggers softlockup on other CPUs.

However the softlock up was intermittent shown up if the memory
of the TD guest is large, and the timeout of softlockup is set
to 1 second.

The symptom is:
When the local irq is enabled at the end of accept_memory(),
the softlockup detects that the watchdog on single CPU has
not been fed for a while. That is to say, even other CPUs
will not be blocked by spinlock, the current CPU might be
stunk with local irq disabled for a while, which hurts not
only nmi watchdog but also softlockup.

Chao Gao pointed out that the memory accept could be time
costly and there was similar report before. Thus to avoid
any softlocup detection during this stage, give the
softlockup a flag to skip the timeout check at the end of
accept_memory(), by invoking touch_softlockup_watchdog().
