commit 1717f2096b54 ("panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to
panic on NMI") and commit 58c5661f2144 ("panic, x86: Allow CPUs to
save registers even if looping in NMI context") introduced nmi_panic()
which prevents concurrent/recursive execution of panic(). It also
saves registers for the crash dump on x86.
However, there are some cases where NMI handlers still use panic().
This patch set partially replaces them with nmi_panic() in those
cases.
---
Even if applying this patch set, some NMI or similar handlers (e.g.
MCE handler) remains to use panic(). This is because I can't test
them well and actual problems won't happen. For example, the
possibility that normal panic and panic on MCE happen simultaneously
is very low.
