    Otherwise the system will burn even brighter and worse, leave the user
    wondering what's going on exactly.
    
    Since we already have a panic handler which will (try) to restore the
    entire fbdev console mode, we can just bail out. Inspired by a patch
    from Konstantin Khlebnikov. The callchain leading to this, cut&pasted
    from Konstantin's original patch:
    
    callstack:
    panic()
    bust_spinlocks(1)
    unblank_screen()
    vc->vc_sw->con_blank()
    fbcon_blank()
    fb_blank()
    info->fbops->fb_blank()
    drm_fb_helper_blank()
    drm_fb_helper_dpms()
    drm_modeset_lock_all()
    mutex_lock(&dev->mode_config.mutex)
    
    Note that the entire locking in the fb helper around panic/sysrq and
    kdbg is ... non-existant. So we have a decent change of blowing up
    everything. But since reworking this ties in with funny concepts like
    the fbdev notifier chain or the impressive things which happen around
    console_lock while oopsing, I'll leave that as an exercise for braver
    souls than me.
    
    v2: Drop the -EBUSY return value I've copied, we don't need it since
    the we'll take care of things ourselves anyway.
