Subject: panic: fix the panic_print NMI backtrace setting
Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2023 13:08:38 -0300

Commit 8d470a45d1a6 ("panic: add option to dump all CPUs backtraces in
panic_print") introduced a setting for the "panic_print" kernel parameter
to allow users to request a NMI backtrace on panic.  Problem is that the
panic_print handling happens after the secondary CPUs are already
disabled, hence this option ended-up being kind of a no-op - kernel skips
the NMI trace in idling CPUs, which is the case of offline CPUs.

Fix it by checking the NMI backtrace bit in the panic_print prior to the
CPU disabling function.
