I think it needs oops_begin() move over to a generalized panic_begin()
which is used everywhere there are multiple line panics.

oops_begin could do all these things, possibly with a new notifier.

This could also solve a couple of other open issues, like
currently we can have parallel panics deadlocking so doing proper
locking.
