panic: print out stacktrace if DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE

if CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is set then the user most definitely wanted
to see as much information about kernel crashes as possible - so give
them at least a stack dump.

this is particularly useful for stackprotector related panics, where
the stacktrace can give us the exact location of the (attempted)
attack.

Pointed out by pageexec@freemail.hu in the stackprotector breakage
threads.
