Please further follow do_exit() path. For each condition, there are
the corresponding panic() calls. In summary:

  oops_end
    1) panic() for in_interrupt()
    2) panic() for panic_on_oops
    do_exit
      3) panic() for !p->pid (idle task)
      exit_notify
        forget_original_parent
          find_child_reaper
            4) panic() for p->pid == 1 (init task)

Thanks.
