[merged mm-nonmm-stable] panic-flatten-nmi_panic-control-flow.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: panic: flatten nmi_panic control flow
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     panic-flatten-nmi_panic-control-flow.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

panic() is __noreturn, so the else after panic_try_start() is dead.  Drop
it so the force_cpu path can be added cleanly on top.
