    which is cause by a 'BUG_ON(in_nmi())' in nmi_enter().

    From the call trace, we can find three interrupts (noted A, B, C above):
    interrupt (A) is preempted by (B), which is further interrupted by (C).

    Subsequent investigations show that (B) results in nmi_enter() being
    called, but that it actually is a spurious interrupt. Furthermore,
    interrupts are reenabled in the context of (B), and (C) fires with
    NMI priority. We end-up with a nested NMI situation, something
    we definitely do not want to (and cannot) handle.

    The bug here is that spurious interrupts should never result in any
    state change, and we should just return to the interrupted context.
    Moving the handling of spurious interrupts as early as possible in
    the GICv3 handler fixes this issue.
