[PATCH] arc: Re-enable MMU upon die()

I recently came upon a scenario where I would get a double fault
after a machine check error. It turns out that for Ksymbol lookup
to work with modules we need to have MMU enabled because module
address is mapped in the cached space.

This patch re-enables the MMU before start printing the stacktrace
making stacktracing of modules work upon a fatal exception.
