Currently, messages are just output on the detection of stack overflow,
which is not sufficient for enterprise systems since it may corrupt data.
To enhance reliability, it is required to stop the systems.
This patch causes a panic according to a sysctl parameter
panic_on_stackoverflow when detecting it. It is disabled by default.
