s390/traps: panic() instead of die() on translation exception
In case of a translation exception the page tables are corrupted. If the exception handler then calls die() which again calls show_regs() -> show_code() -> copy_from_user(), the kernel may access the same memory location again and generates yet another translation exception. Which in turn will lead to a deadlock on the die_lock spinlock, which the kernel tries to grab recursively. Given that the page tables are corrupted anyway, if we see such an exception, let's simply panic.
