This one?

I think it may be a bit incorrect?
According to the original comment in __crash_kexec, the mutex was used to
prevent a sys_kexec_load, while crash_kexec is executed. Your proposed 
patch
does not lock the mutex in crash_kexec. This does not cover the original 
use
case anymore. The only thing that is protected now are two panicing cores at
the same time.
Actually, this implementation feels even more hacky to me....
