[PATCH 6.1.y] panic: flatten nmi_panic control flow

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Bradley Morgan <brads@mainlining.org>

[ Upstream commit 75eb687ff2bcec9fba31bbe266e5f91e5c283efe ]

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.
