Panic notifiers are invoked with RCU read lock held and when the SNP panic notifier tries to unregister itself from the panic notifier callback itself it causes a deadlock as notifier unregistration does RCU synchronization.
Code flow for SNP panic notifier: snp_shutdown_on_panic() -> __sev_firmware_shutdown() -> __sev_snp_shutdown_locked() -> atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(.., &snp_panic_notifier)
Fix SNP panic notifier to unregister itself during SNP shutdown only if panic is not in progress.
