When a panic happens during bootup, "Rebooting in X seconds.." is
shown, but reboot happens immediatelly. It is because panic() uses mdelay()
and mdelay() calls __const_udelay() immediately, which does not
work while booting.

The per_cpu cpu_info.loops_per_jiffy value is not initialized yet, so
__const_udelay() actually multiplies the number of loops by zero. This
results in __const_udelay() to delay the execution only by a nanosecond
or so.

So check whether cpu_info.loops_per_jiffy is zero and use
loops_per_jiffy in that case. mdelay() will not be so precise without
proper calibration, but it works relatively well.

Before:

  [    0.170039] delaying 100ms
  [    0.170828] done

After

  [    0.214042] delaying 100ms
  [    0.313974] done

I do not think the added check matters given we are about to spin the
processor in the next few hundred cycles.
