Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.16 17/30] s390/traps: improve panic message for translation-specification exception

From: Heiko Carstens <hca@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit f09354ffd84eef3c88efa8ba6df05efe50cfd16a ]

There are many different types of translation exceptions but only a
translation-specification exception leads to a kernel panic since it
indicates corrupted page tables, which must never happen.

Improve the panic message so it is a bit more obvious what this is about.
