I changed to use atomic_xchg() instead of atomic_set() in V3
because atomic_set() doesn't mean memory barrier. However,
I thought again and there is no need of barrier; there is no
problem if a competitor sees old value of panic_cpu or new one.
So, atomic_set() is sufficient and using it will remove this warning.
I will resend the fixed version later.
