panic: call panic handlers before kmsg_dump
Since the panic handlers may produce additional information (via printk) for the kernel log, it should be reported as part of the panic output saved by kmsg_dump(). Without this re-ordering, nothing that adds information to a panic will show up in pstore's view when kmsg_dump runs, and is therefore not visible to crash reporting tools that examine pstore output.
