The kernel cmdline option panic_on_warn expects an integer, it is not a plain option as documented. A number of uses in the tree figured this already, and use panic_on_warn=1 for their purpose.

Adjust a comment which otherwise may mislead people in the future.

• panic_on_warn panic() instead of WARN(). Useful to cause kdump

• panic_on_warn=1 panic() instead of WARN(). Useful to cause kdump on a WARN().

It's declared as an int instead of a boolean, but it's only tested for 0 or non-0.

In any case, this update needs to be done. Thanks.
