[PATCH 1/7] x86/boot: Drop pointless re-implementation of panic()

[Ard Biesheuvel]

The decompressor has its own implementation of panic(), which is based
on the vsnprintf() routine provided by the EFI stub.

Relying on the EFI stub from code that does not execute in the context
of the EFI boot services is a bad idea. It is also completely pointless
in this case, given that the only user of this version of panic() only
passes a compile time constant string, without any printf conversions.

So use error() instead of panic() in that case, and drop the panic()
implementation entirely. This is needed so that the EFI stub's
vsnprintf() can be modified in a manner that is incompatible with the
expectations of this caller.
