[PATCH v4 1/4] printk: Add panic_in_progress helper

[Stephen Brennan]

This will be used help avoid deadlocks during panics. Although it would
be better to include this in linux/panic.h, it would require that header
to include linux/atomic.h as well. On some architectures, this results
in a circular dependency as well. So instead add the helper directly to
printk.c.

Notes:
    v4: Move helper outside CONFIG_PRINTK section
    v3: Move the helper into printk.c due to circular include
    v2: Switch from macro to static inline function
