[v3 PATCH 3/3] hpwdt: Use nmi_panic() when kernel panics in NMI handler

From: Hidehiro Kawai
Date: Thu Mar 03 2016 - 06:03:36 EST


commit 1717f2096b54 ("panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to
panic on NMI") introduced nmi_panic() which prevents concurrent and
recursive execution of panic(). It also saves registers for the
crash dump on x86 by later commit 58c5661f2144 ("panic, x86: Allow
CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context").

hpwdt driver can call panic() from NMI handler, so replace it with
nmi_panic(). Also, do some cleanups.

Changes since V1:
- Use direct return instead of goto
- Combine the panic message string into a single line
