kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers



Add a "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option to run kdump after
running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg.  This can help rare situations
where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure
(memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already
broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee
that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?).

Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option.

Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump.  This
option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump
failure rather than increasing the chance of success.
