> Panic path runs in atomic context, with local interrupts and
> preemption disabled, and all secondary CPUs shutdown. That said,
> taking a spinlock might cause a lockup if a secondary CPU was
> disabled with such lock taken. Fix it here by checking if the
> ring buffer spinlock is busy on Hyper-V framebuffer panic notifier;
> if so, bail-out avoiding the potential lockup scenario.
