[PATCH] panic: Move panic_print before kmsg dumpers

["Guilherme G. Piccoli" <gpiccoli@igalia.com>]

The panic_print setting allows users to collect more information in a
panic event, like memory stats, tasks, CPUs backtraces, etc.
This is a pretty interesting debug mechanism, but currently the print
event happens *after* kmsg_dump(), meaning that Pstore, for example,
cannot collect a dmesg with the panic_print information.

This patch changes that by moving the panic_print_sys_info() function
call up some lines, in order kmsg_dump() accounts this new information
and exposes it through Pstore or other kmsg dumpers.

Hey folks, thanks in advance for reviews/comments!
One alternative I've considered was to move kmsg_dump() some
lines down, I'm not sure which approach is better, can't see
much difference. Opinions are very welcome =)
Cheers,


Guilherme
