The goal of this new panic notifier is to allow its users to register callbacks to run earlier in the panic path than they currently do. This aims at informational mechanisms, like dumping kernel offsets and showing device error data (in case it's simple registers reading, for example) as well as mechanisms to disable log flooding (like hung_task detector / RCU warnings) and the tracing dump_on_oops (when enabled). Any (non-invasive) information that should be provided before kmsg_dump() as well as log flooding preventing code should fit here, as long it offers relatively low risk for kdump. For now, the patch is almost a no-op, although it changes a bit the ordering in which some panic notifiers are executed - specially affected by this are the notifiers responsible for disabling the hung_task detector / RCU warnings, which now run first. In a subsequent patch, the panic path will be refactored, then the panic informational notifiers will effectively run earlier, before ksmg_dump() (and usually before kdump as well). We also defer documenting it all properly in the subsequent refactor patch. Finally, while at it, we removed some useless header inclusions too.
