[PATCH v2 5/9] panic: use panic_try_start() in vpanic()

vpanic() had open-coded logic to claim panic_cpu with atomic_try_cmpxchg.
This is already handled by panic_try_start().
Switch to panic_try_start() and use panic_on_other_cpu() for the fallback
path.
This removes duplicate code and makes panic handling consistent across
functions.
