If a breakpoint is set in an interrupt-sensitive place,
like gic_handle_irq(), a debug exception can be triggerred recursively.
We will see the following message:

    KGDB: re-enter error: breakpoint removed ffffffc000081258

When some interrupt occurs, a breakpoint at gic_handle_irq() invokes kgdb.
Kgdb then calls kgdb_roundup_cpus() to sync with other cpus. Current
kgdb_roundup_cpus() unmasks interrupts temporarily to use
smp_call_function(). This eventually allows another interrupt to occur and
likely results in hitting a breakpoint at gic_handle_irq() again since
a debug exception is always enabled in el1_irq.

We can avoid this issue by specifying "nokgdbroundup" in a kernel command
line, but this will also leave other cpus be in unknown state in terms of
kgdb, and may result in interfering with kgdb.

This patch re-implements kgdb_roundup_cpus() so that we won't have to
enable interrupts there by using irq_work.

Are you sure you want to do this on the stack? Assuming it's safe to
allocate here, why not use cpumask_var_t?
