Commit 8d470a45d1a6 ("panic: add option to dump all CPUs backtraces in panic_print") introduced a setting for the "panic_print" kernel parameter to allow users to request a NMI backtrace on panic. Problem is that the panic_print handling happens after the secondary CPUs are already disabled, hence this option ended-up being kind of a no-op - kernel skips the NMI trace in idling CPUs, which is the case of offline CPUs.
Fix it by checking the NMI backtrace bit in the panic_print prior to the CPU disabling function.

V5: - Kept the local version of "crash_kexec_post_notifiers", since this is standalone fix that should be backported to stable. Hence, it's not a good idea to mess with it in this patch (thanks Andrew!).
V4: - Sent as standalone patch, rebased against v6.2-rc7. - Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230210203510.1734835-1-gpiccoli@igalia.com/
