BUG: kernel reboot-without-warning in boot stage

And i have reproduced it with script in attachment. this issue is gone
when i reverted this commit 28307d938f

Please note that
- i reproduced it with kernel compiled by gcc-5
- i failed to reproduce it in kernel compiled by gcc-7 so far
Odd.

Indeed !

i tested gcc-5 gcc-6 gcc-7, only gcc-5 triggered this issue, kernel built with gcc6 and gcc-7 works well
