Matthias Kaehlcke a487e4d535 UPSTREAM: sysrq: Use panic() to force a crash
(Upstream commit 8341f2f222d729688014ce8306727fdb9798d37e.)

sysrq_handle_crash() currently forces a crash by dereferencing a
NULL pointer, which is undefined behavior in C. Just call panic()
instead, which is simpler and doesn't depend on compiler specific
handling of the undefined behavior.

Remove the comment on why the RCU lock needs to be released, it isn't
accurate anymore since the crash now isn't handled by the page fault
handler (for reference: the comment was added by commit 984cf355ae
("sysrq: Fix warning in sysrq generated crash.")). Releasing the lock
is still good practice though.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
