panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI
If panic on NMI happens just after panic() on the same CPU, panic() is recursively called. Kernel stalls, as a result, after failing to acquire panic_lock. To avoid this problem, don't call panic() in NMI context if we've already entered panic(). For that, introduce nmi_panic() macro to reduce code duplication. In the case of panic on NMI, don't return from NMI handlers if another CPU already panicked.
