Thank you for your explanation. Now I understand that we don't need self-NMI and efi_pstore can blindly continue in panic path because setvariable() will succeed even if the previous call that took the exception didn't succeed.
I will submit an updated patch by removing spin_lock of efi_pstore_write() in panic path.
