UBUNTU: SAUCE: sched: panic on corrupted stack end
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1588871 Until now, hitting this BUG_ON caused a recursive oops (because oops handling involves do_exit(), which calls into the scheduler, which in turn raises an oops), which caused stuff below the stack to be overwritten until a panic happened (e.g. via an oops in interrupt context, caused by the overwritten CPU index in the thread_info). Just panic directly.
