[PATCH 30/30] um: Avoid duplicate call to kmsg_dump()

From: Guilherme G. Piccoli
Date: Wed Apr 27 2022 - 19:02:54 EST


Currently the panic notifier panic_exit() calls kmsg_dump() and
some console flushing routines - this makes sense since such
panic notifier exits UserMode Linux and never returns.

Happens that after a panic refactor, kmsg_dump() is now always
called *before* the pre_reboot list of panic notifiers, in which
panic_exit() belongs, leading to a double call situation.

This patch changes that by removing such call from the panic
notifier, but leaving the console flushing calls since the
pre_reboot list still runs before console flushing on panic().
