Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] panic: Clean up message about deprecated 'panic_print' parameter

From: Petr Mladek <pmladek@...e.com>

Remove duplication of the message about deprecated 'panic_print'
parameter.

Also make the wording more direct. Make it clear that the new
parameters already exist and should be used instead.
