[PATCH v3 1/4] printk: Add panic_in_progress helper

From: Stephen Brennan
Date: Tue Feb 01 2022 - 13:58:43 EST


This will be used help avoid deadlocks during panics. Although it would
be better to include this in linux/panic.h, it would require that header
to include linux/atomic.h as well. On some architectures, this results
in a circular dependency. So instead add the helper directly to
printk.c.

Notes:
v3: Move the helper into printk.c due to circular include
v2: Switch from macro to static inline function
