panic: call console_verbose() in panic
Most distros turn the console verbosity down and that means a backtrace
after a panic never makes it to the console. I assume we haven't seen
this because a panic is often preceeded by an oops which will have called
console_verbose. There are however a lot of places we call panic
directly, and they are broken.
Use console_verbose like we do in the oops path to ensure a directly
called panic will print a backtrace.
