It turns out to be rather tedious to test the NMI nesting code. Make it easier: add a new CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY option that causes the NMI handler to pre-emptively unmask NMIs. With this option set, errors in the repeat_nmi logic or failures to detect that we're in a nested NMI will result in quick panics under perf (especially if multiple counters are running at high frequency) instead of requiring an unusual workload that generates page faults or breakpoints inside NMIs. I called it CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY instead of CONFIG_DEBUG_NMI_ENTRY because I want to add new non-NMI checks elsewhere in the entry code in the future, and I'd rather not add too many new config options or add this option and then immediately rename it.
