s390/etr,stp: fix possible deadlock on machine check
The first level machine check handler for etr and stp machine checks may call queue_work() while in nmi context. This may deadlock e.g. if the machine check happened when the interrupted context did hold a lock, that also will be acquired by queue_work(). Therefore split etr and stp machine check handling into first and second level handling. The second level handling will then issue the queue_work() call in process context which avoids the potential deadlock.
