Subject: avr32: setup crt for early panic()

From: Andreas Bießmann <[email protected]>

commit 7a2a74f4b856993218aa7cdeeb6c3103101340db upstream.

Before the CRT was (fully) set up in kernel_entry (bss cleared before in
_start, but also not before jump to panic() in no_tag_table case).

This patch fixes this up to have a fully working CRT when branching to panic()
in no_tag_table.
