Subject: [PATCH 05/48] dump_stack: Do not get cpu_sync for panic CPU

dump_stack() is called in panic(). If for some reason another CPU
is holding the printk_cpu_sync and is unable to release it, the
panic CPU will be unable to continue and print the stacktrace.

Since non-panic CPUs are not allowed to store new printk messages
anyway, there is no need to synchronize the stacktrace output in
a panic situation.

For the panic CPU, do not get the printk_cpu_sync because it is
not needed and avoids a potential deadlock scenario in panic().
