In grsecurity, the oops handling also uses do_group_exit instead of
do_exit but both that change (or at least the option to do it) and the
exploit handling could be done separately from this without actually
needing special treatment for USERCOPY. Could expose is as something
like panic_on_oops=2 as a balance between the existing options.
