panic: decrease oops_in_progress only after having done the panic
Impact: eliminate secondary warnings during panic()
We can panic() in a number of difficult, atomic contexts, hence
we use bust_spinlocks(1) in panic() to increase oops_in_progress,
which prevents various debug checks we have in place.
But in practice this protection only covers the first few printk's
done by panic() - it does not cover the later attempt to stop all
other CPUs and kexec(). If a secondary warning triggers in one of
those facilities that can make the panic message scroll off.
So do bust_spinlocks(0) only much later in panic(). (which code
is only reached if panic policy is relaxed that it can return
after a warning message)
