Subject: [PATCH 26/28] kdb,panic,debug_core: Allow the debug core to receive a panic before smp_send_stop()

It is highly desirable to trap into kdb on panic, and in order
to do so the notifier must be called before smp_send_stop(),
else the debug_core will not be able to correctly trap
all the CPUs.
