In the current code, the following three places need to unset
panic_on_warn before calling panic() to avoid recursive panics:
kernel/kcsan/report.c: print_report()
kernel/sched/core.c: __schedule_bug()
mm/kfence/report.c: kfence_report_error()
In order to avoid copy-pasting "panic_on_warn = 0" all over the
places, it is better to move it inside panic() and then remove
it from the other places.
