drivers/firmware: add SDEI cross-CPU NMI service for arm64
Deliver an NMI-like event to an interrupt-masked arm64 CPU via the
standard SDEI software-signalled event (event 0), without the pseudo-NMI
hot-path cost: register a handler for event 0 and poke a target with
sdei_event_signal(0, mpidr).
First user is arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() (sysrq-l, RCU stalls,
hung-task/soft-lockup dumps), which otherwise rides an IPI that can't
reach a masked CPU. Falls back to the IPI path when SDEI is absent; no
watchdog backend yet, so the stock detector is untouched.
