Subject: [PATCH v2 1/9] panic: Introduce helper functions for panic state

This patch introduces four new helper functions to abstract the
management of the panic_cpu variable. These functions will be used in
subsequent patches to refactor existing code.

The direct use of panic_cpu can be error-prone and ambiguous, as it
requires manual checks to determine which CPU is handling the panic.
The new helpers clarify intent:

panic_try_start():
Atomically sets the current CPU as the panicking CPU.

panic_reset():
Reset panic_cpu to PANIC_CPU_INVALID.

panic_in_progress():
Checks if a panic has been triggered.

panic_on_this_cpu():
Returns true if the current CPU is the panic originator.

panic_on_other_cpu():
Returns true if a panic is on another CPU.

This change lays the groundwork for improved code readability
and robustness in the panic handling subsystem.
