x86/nmi: Simplify unknown NMI panic handling
The unknown_nmi_panic variable is used to control whether the kernel should panic on unknown NMIs. There is a sysctl entry under: /proc/sys/kernel/unknown_nmi_panic which can be used to change the behavior at runtime. However, it seems that in some places, the option unnecessarily depends on CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC. Other code in nmi.c uses unknown_nmi_panic without such a dependency. This results in a few messy #ifdefs splattered across the code. The dependency was likely introduce due to a potential build bug reported a long time ago: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/40BC67F9.3000609@myrealbox.com/ This build bug no longer exists. Also, similar NMI panic options, such as panic_on_unrecovered_nmi and panic_on_io_nmi, do not have an explicit dependency on the local APIC either. Though, it's hard to imagine a production system without the local APIC configuration, making a specific NMI sysctl option dependent on it doesn't make sense. Remove the explicit dependency between unknown NMI handling and the local APIC to make the code cleaner and more consistent. While at it, reorder the header includes to maintain alphabetical order.
