x86/traps: Use format string with panic() call

Building with -Wformat-nonliteral gives:

  arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:334:2: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Wformat-nonliteral]
    panic(message);

handle_stack_overflow() can only be called from two places (kernel/traps.c
and via inline asm in mm/fault.c), in both cases with a string not
containing format specifiers, so we might as well silence this warning
using "%s" as a format string.
