panic: Reenable preemption in WARN slowpath

Commit:

5a5d7e9badd2 ("cpuidle: lib/bug: Disable rcu_is_watching() during WARN/BUG")

amended warn_slowpath_fmt() to disable preemption until the WARN splat
has been emitted.

However the commit neglected to reenable preemption in the !fmt codepath,
i.e. when a WARN splat is emitted without additional format string.

One consequence is that users may see more splats than intended. E.g. a
WARN splat emitted in a work item results in at least two extra splats:

BUG: workqueue leaked lock or atomic
(emitted by process_one_work())

BUG: scheduling while atomic
(emitted by worker_thread() -> schedule())

Ironically the point of the commit was to *avoid* extra splats. ;)

Fix it.
