Hidehiro Kawai 7bbee5ca38 kexec: Fix race between panic() and crash_kexec()
Currently, panic() and crash_kexec() can be called at the same time.
For example (x86 case):

CPU 0:
  oops_end()
    crash_kexec()
      mutex_trylock() // acquired
        nmi_shootdown_cpus() // stop other CPUs

CPU 1:
  panic()
    crash_kexec()
      mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire
    smp_send_stop() // stop other CPUs
    infinite loop

If CPU 1 calls smp_send_stop() before nmi_shootdown_cpus(), kdump
fails.

In another case:

CPU 0:
  oops_end()
    crash_kexec()
      mutex_trylock() // acquired
        <NMI>
        io_check_error()
          panic()
            crash_kexec()
              mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire
            infinite loop

Clearly, this is an undesirable result.

To fix this problem, this patch changes crash_kexec() to exclude others
by using the panic_cpu atomic.
