Thanks for the patch!
I tested it in following cases on x86_64 and it worked well;
my panic notifier was called, then 2nd kernel booted.

- Null pointer dereference in each context of
  - hard IRQ
  - pid == 0
  - pid == 1
  - others with panic_on_oops=1
- Zero-divide in the context of normal process
  (panic_on_oops=1)
