Looking at the dmesg, panic_on_oops doesn't seem to be enabled: it went
through the rewind_stack_do_exit() path instead of the panic() path.  So
the system is apparently not configured to reboot on oops.

So I'd say the hang was presumably caused by a lock held by the oopsing
code.  So it looks normal to me, other than the original oops.
