Since the panic handlers may require certain cpus to be online to panic
gracefully, we should call them before turning off SMP.  Without this
re-ordering, on Hyper-V hv_panic_vmbus_unload() times out, because the
vmbus channel is bound to VMBUS_CONNECT_CPU and unless the crashing cpu is
the same as VMBUS_CONNECT_CPU, VMBUS_CONNECT_CPU will be offlined by
crash_smp_send_stop() before the vmbus channel can be deconstructed.
