Hi!

This patchset fixes 2 issues on CPU backtrace during panic. The first
issue was pointed out by John [1].

(1) The usual(non-panic context) flushing of backtraces written into
ringbuffer does not work during panic as non-panicked CPUs can't do the
flushing themselves.

(2) CPU backtrace triggered during panic has stopped working since the
commit 779dbc2e78d7 ("printk: Avoid non-panic CPUs writing to ringbuffer")
as it disabled non-panicked cpus writing into ringbuffer after panic.

Sincerely,
Ryo Takakura

- Thanks for the feedbacks by Petr and John.
- Fix the issue (1) seperately from original patch.
- Fix the issue (2) by allowing non-panicked CPUs to write into ringbuffer
while CPU backtrace is triggered as suggested by Petr.
