PATCH 1/1 ipmi: fix watchdog timeout panic handling

If a panic came from the IPMI watchdog pretimeout and that was reported via an NMI, it would also be reported via the standard IPMI flags, which would get picked up when reporting panic events and cause another panic. This adds an atomic to avoid calling panic twice.
