panic: add options to print system info when panic happens

Kernel panic issues are always painful to debug, partially because it's
not easy to get enough information of the context when panic happens.

And we have ramoops and kdump for that, while this commit tries to
provide a easier way to show the system info by adding a cmdline
parameter, referring some idea from sysrq handler.

panic_print= Bitmask for printing system info when panic happens.
User can chose combination of the following bits:
bit 0: print all tasks info
bit 1: print system memory info
bit 2: print timer info
bit 3: print locks info if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is on
bit 4: print ftrace buffer
panic_on_warn panic() instead of WARN(). Useful to cause kdump
on a WARN().
