[PATCH] atkbd: disable spurious ACK/NAK warning on panic

[Luca Tettamanti <kronos.it@gmail.com>]

After the panic() message has been printed kernel may blink keyboard
leds to signal the abnormal condition.
atkbd warns that "Some program might be trying access hardware directly"
at every blink, scrolling the useful text out of the screen.
Avoid printing the warning when oops_in_progress is set in order to
preserve the panic message.
