Commit9c44bc03ff("softlockup: allow panic on lockup") added the softlockup_panic sysctl, but didn't add information about it to the file Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.rst (which in that time certainly wasn't rst and had other name!). This patch just adds the respective documentation and references it from the corresponding entry in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt. This patch was strongly based on Scott Wood's commitd22881dc13("Documentation: Better document the hardlockup_panic sysctl").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
