[PATCH] lock debug: sit tight when we are already in a panic

The panic code called the kexec code which called mutex_trylock() which
called spin_lock_mutex() which then stupidly went and blurted a load of
debug stuff because of in_interrupt().

Keep the lock debug code from escallating an already crappy situation.
