Merge tag 'x86_misc_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull misc x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - Fix a wrong check in the function reporting whether a CPU executes
   (or not) a NMI handler

 - Ratelimit unknown NMIs messages in order to not potentially slow down
   the machine

 - Other fixlets
