[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: panic: use panic_try_start() in vpanic()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     panic-use-panic_try_start-in-vpanic.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: panic: use panic_try_start() in vpanic()
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2025 10:29:33 +0800

vpanic() had open-coded logic to claim panic_cpu with atomic_try_cmpxchg. 
This is already handled by panic_try_start().

Switch to panic_try_start() and use panic_on_other_cpu() for the fallback
path.

This removes duplicate code and makes panic handling consistent across
functions.
