[PATCH] x86_64: fix die_lock nesting
I noticed this when poking around in this area.

The oops_begin() function in x86_64 would only conditionally claim
the die_lock if the call is nested, but oops_end() would always
release the spinlock. This patch adds a nest count for the die lock
so that the release of the lock is only done on the final oops_end().
