[RFC PATCH 3/4] misc/pvpanic: notify the host on the pre kdump list

Writing the panic event to the pvpanic device is a self contained
upcall, and pvpanic_send_event() already takes pvpanic_lock with a
trylock, so the callback satisfies the contract as is.
The INT_MAX priority is kept so the host hears about the panic
before anything else on the list runs.
