Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mtd: mtdoops: panic caused mtdoops to call
 mtdoops_erase function immediately

The panic function disables the local interrupts, preemption, and all
other processors. When the invoked mtdoops needs to erase a used page,
calling schedule_work() to do it will not work. Instead, just call
mtdoops_erase function immediately.

Tested:
~# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
[  171.654759] sysrq: Trigger a crash
[  171.658325] Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash
......
[  172.406423] mtdoops: not ready 34, 35 (erase immediately)
[  172.432285] mtdoops: ready 34, 35
[  172.435633] Rebooting in 10 seconds..
