x86/reboot: Disable virtualization during reboot iff callback is registered

Browse source

Attempt to disable virtualization during an emergency reboot if and only
if there is a registered virt callback, i.e. iff a hypervisor (KVM) is
active.  If there's no active hypervisor, then the CPU can't be operating
with VMX or SVM enabled (barring an egregious bug).

Checking for a valid callback instead of simply for SVM or VMX support
can also eliminates spurious NMIs by avoiding the unecessary call to
nmi_shootdown_cpus_on_restart().

Note, IRQs are disabled, which prevents KVM from coming along and
enabling virtualization after the fact.
