The current MIPS implementation of arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() is broken because it attempts to use synchronous IPIs despite the fact that it may be run with interrupts disabled.
This means that when arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() is invoked, for example by the RCU CPU stall watchdog, we may:
- Deadlock due to use of synchronous IPIs with interrupts disabled, causing the CPU that's attempting to generate the backtrace output to hang itself.
- Not succeed in generating the desired output from remote CPUs.
- Produce warnings about this from smp_call_function_many(), for example:

This patch switches MIPS' arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() to use async IPIs & smp_call_function_single_async() in order to resolve this problem. We ensure use of the pre-allocated call_single_data_t structures is serialized by maintaining a cpumask indicating that they're busy, and refusing to attempt to send an IPI when a CPU's bit is set in this mask. This should only happen if a CPU hasn't responded to a previous backtrace IPI - ie. if it's hung - and we print a warning to the console in this case.
I've marked this for stable branches as far back as v4.9, to which it applies cleanly. Strictly speaking the faulty MIPS implementation can be traced further back to commit 856839b76836 ("MIPS: Add arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function") in v3.19, but kernel versions v3.19 through v4.8 will require further work to backport due to the rework performed in commit 9a01c3ed5cdb ("nmi_backtrace: add more trigger_*_cpu_backtrace() methods").
