[PATCH 1/1] kernel: panic: display reason at end + pr_emerg

[Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be>]

Currently, booting without initrd specified on 80x25 screen
gives a call trace followed by atkbd : Spurious ACK.
Original message ("VFS: Unable to mount root fs") is not available.
Of course this could happen in other situations...

-This patch displays panic reason after call trace which could help
lot of people even if it's not the very last line on screen.

-Converting all panic.c printk(KERN_EMERG to pr_emerg(
