commit 20bb759a66be52cf4a9ddd17fddaf509e11490cd upstream.

Calling 'panic()' on a kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y can leave the
calling CPU in an infinite loop, but with interrupts and preemption
enabled.  From this state, userspace can continue to be scheduled,
despite the system being "dead" as far as the kernel is concerned.

This is easily reproducible on arm64 when booting with "nosmp" on the
command line; a couple of shell scripts print out a periodic "Ping"
message whilst another triggers a crash by writing to
/proc/sysrq-trigger:

  | sysrq: Trigger a crash

  | ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash ]---
  |  Ping 2!
  |  Ping 1!
  |  Ping 1!
  |  Ping 2!

The issue can also be triggered on x86 kernels if CONFIG_SMP=n,
otherwise local interrupts are disabled in 'smp_send_stop()'.

Disable preemption in 'panic()' before re-enabling interrupts.
