As you can see from the patch there is already a case to catch this type
of problem. This BUG_ON() adds a resursive OOPS , since BUG() causes an OOPS
and the OOPS just calls do_exit() , and do_exit() just causes another OOPS with
this BUG_ON().. If we call panic() here then it's clear what the problem was,
instead of causing an endless recursive crash.
