[PATCH 1/3] x86/panic: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI

[Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com>]

If panic on NMI happens just after panic() on the same CPU, panic()
is recursively called.  As the result, it stalls on panic_lock.

To avoid this problem, don't call panic() in NMI context if
we've already entered panic() (i.e. we hold panic_lock).
