panic: Mark emergency section in oops

Mark an emergency section beginning with oops_enter() until the
end of oops_exit(). In this section, every printk() call will
attempt to directly flush to the consoles using the EMERGENCY
priority.

The very end of oops_exit() performs a kmsg_dump(). This is not
included in the emergency section because it is another
flushing mechanism that should occur after the consoles have
flushed the oops messages.
