Add a check for panic_timeout in the drm_fb_helper_panic() notifier: if we're going to reboot immediately, the user will not be able to see the messages anyway, and messing with the video mode may display artifacts, and certainly get into several layers of complexity (including mutexes and memory allocations) which we shall be much safer to avoid.

Dave, where do we stand on this? I haven't seen it hit Linus' tree and I don't see it in git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux.
I've just pulled it into my local drm-next, thanks for reminding me.
Dave.
