Subject: panic: add options to print system info when panic happens
Kernel panic issues are always painful to debug, partially because it's
not easy to get enough information of the context when panic happens.
And we have ramoops and kdump for that, while this commit tries to provide
a easier way to show the system info by adding a cmdline parameter,
referring some idea from sysrq handler.

+ User can chose combination of the following bits:
+ bit 0: print all tasks info
+ bit 1: print system memory info
+ bit 2: print timer info
+ bit 3: print locks info if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is on
+ bit 4: print ftrace buffer

panic_on_warn panic() instead of WARN(). Useful to cause kdump
on a WARN().
