[RFC][PATCH v4 -next 3/4]Skip subsequent kmsg_dump() function callsin panic path

[Seiji Aguchi]

This patch skips subsequent kmsg_dump() function calls in panic path

With this patch, we can avoid deadlock due to the subsequent calls.
Actually, kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_EMREG) is called after kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_PANIC) 
when panic_timeout variable is set.
