objections, please let us know.
===============
[ Upstream commit 7625b3a0007decf2b135cb47ca67abc78a7b1bc1 ]
Commit 08d78658f393 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the
logbuf printed out") introduced an unwanted bad unlock balance report when
panic() is called directly and not from OOPS (e.g. from out_of_memory()).
The difference is that in case of OOPS we disable locks debug in
oops_enter() and on direct panic call nobody does that.
Fixes: 08d78658f393 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out")
