It comes from:
void die(struct pt_regs *regs, ...
{
...
if (in_interrupt())
        panic("Fatal exception in interrupt");
...

We could add a dump_backtrace to see what happened:
if (in_interrupt()) {
+      dump_backtrace(regs, NULL, KERN_DEFAULT);
        panic("Fatal exception in interrupt");
}
