panic: add option to dump all CPUs backtraces in panic_print
Currently the "panic_print" parameter/sysctl allows some interesting debug
information to be printed during a panic event. This is useful for
example in cases the user cannot kdump due to resource limits, or if the
user collects panic logs in a serial output (or pstore) and prefers a fast
reboot instead of a kdump.
Happens that currently there's no way to see all CPUs backtraces in a
panic using "panic_print" on architectures that support that. We do have
"oops_all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl, but although partially overlapping in the
functionality, they are orthogonal in nature: "panic_print" is a panic
tuning (and we have panics without oopses, like direct calls to panic() or
maybe other paths that don't go through oops_enter() function), and the
original purpose of "oops_all_cpu_backtrace" is to provide more
information on oopses for cases in which the users desire to continue
running the kernel even after an oops, i.e., used in non-panic scenarios.
So, we hereby introduce an additional bit for "panic_print" to allow
dumping the CPUs backtraces during a panic event.
