PA-RISC wants to sleep 5 seconds before panicking when panic_on_oops
is set, with no apparent reason. Remove this feature, since some users
may want their systems to fail as quickly as possible.

Users who want to delay reboot after panic can use PANIC_TIMEOUT.

That's not completely true.
A few years back, when we had lots of crashes, it was very useful to at least
have some time to see the crash before the oops was cleaned from the screen.
Today the parisc port is really stable.

That's OK.
