Panic notifiers are invoked with RCU read lock held and when the
SNP panic notifier tries to unregister itself from the panic
notifier callback itself it causes a deadlock as notifier
unregistration does RCU synchronization.
Code flow for SNP panic notifier:
snp_shutdown_on_panic() ->
__sev_firmware_shutdown() ->
__sev_snp_shutdown_locked() ->
atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(.., &snp_panic_notifier)
Fix SNP panic notifier to unregister itself during SNP shutdown
only if panic is not in progress.

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 reStructuredText 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.
