printk: disable optimistic spin during panic

A CPU executing with console lock spinning enabled might be halted
during a panic. Before the panicking CPU calls console_flush_on_panic(),
it may call console_trylock(), which attempts to optimistically spin,
deadlocking the panic CPU:

CPU 0 (panic CPU)             CPU 1
-----------------             ------
                              printk() {
                                vprintk_func() {
                                  vprintk_default() {
                                    vprintk_emit() {
                                      console_unlock() {
                                        console_lock_spinning_enable();
                                        ... printing to console ...
panic() {
  crash_smp_send_stop() {
    NMI  -------------------> HALT
  }
  atomic_notifier_call_chain() {
    printk() {
      ...
      console_trylock_spinnning() {
        // optimistic spin infinitely

This hang during panic can be induced when a kdump kernel is loaded, and
crash_kexec_post_notifiers=1 is present on the kernel command line. The
following script which concurrently writes to /dev/kmsg, and triggers a
panic, can result in this hang:

    #!/bin/bash
    date
    # 991 chars (based on log buffer size):
    chars="$(printf 'a%.0s' {1..991})"
    while :; do
        echo $chars > /dev/kmsg
    done &
    echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger &
    date
    exit

To avoid this deadlock, ensure that console_trylock_spinning() does not
allow spinning once a panic has begun.
