[ Upstream commit 168e06f7937d96c7222037d8a05565e8a6eb00fe ]
Based on commit 401c636a0eeb ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks before panic"), we could get the call stack of hung task.
However, if the console loglevel is not high, we still can not see the useful panic information in practice, and in most cases users don't set console loglevel to high level.
This patch is to force console verbose before system panic, so that the real useful information can be seen in the console, instead of being like the following, which doesn't have hung task information.
