Guilherme G. Piccoli e918c10265 misc/pvpanic: Convert regular spinlock into trylock on panic path
The pvpanic driver relies on panic notifiers to execute a callback
on panic event. Such function is executed in atomic context - the
panic function disables local IRQs, preemption and all other CPUs
that aren't running the panic code.

With that said, it's dangerous to use regular spinlocks in such path,
as introduced by commit b3c0f87746 ("misc/pvpanic: probe multiple instances").
This patch fixes that by replacing regular spinlocks with the trylock
safer approach.

It also fixes an old comment (about a long gone framebuffer code) and
the notifier priority - we should execute hypervisor notifiers early,
deferring this way the panic action to the hypervisor, as expected by
the users that are setting up pvpanic.
