Hmm. IMO you're making two changes here, and this is fiddly enough
that it might be worth separating them for bisection purposes.

Sigh, this is indeed necessary.

But this is really a separate change. This makes handle_invalid_op()
be NMI-like even for non-BUG/WARN kernel #UD entries. One might argue
that this doesn't matter, and that's probably right, but I think it
should be its own change with its own justification. With just my
patch, I intentionally call handle_invalid_op() via the normal
idtentry_enter_cond_rcu() path.
