[PATCH] Xmon bug fix for soft-reset



For soft reset during system hang, got an error "CPU did not take
control" for some CPUs even though they responded to soft-reset (called
SystemReset, die and called debugger - xmon).   First these CPUs entered
into xmon by IPI callback and then got a soft-reset exception and
re-entered into xmon again. The first CPU which re-entered into xmon got
the output lock and made into xmon successfully without unlocking.
Hence, the next CPU(s) which re-entered into xmon try to acquire a lock
(get_output_lock). Therefore, we can not view state of those CPU(s).

[This is a simple, very low risk, obvious fix for an obvious bug, and
should go into 2.6.13.  -- paulus]
