Yes, you're right. I just want to fix a hung up when ras error inject testing.

panic_on_oops is not set in the kernel image for testing. When receiving a sea in kernel
context, the PE trap in do_exit(), and can't return any more.

I analyze the source code, the call trace might like this:
   do_mem_abort
     -> arm64_notify_die
        -> die                    # kernel context, call die() directly;
           -> do_exit             # kernel process context, call do_exit(SIGSEGV);
              -> do_task_dead()   # call do_task_dead(), and hung up this core;
