[PATCH 4/5] UML - Install panic notifier earlier

[Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>]

It turns out that if there's a panic early enough, UML will just sit
there in the LED-blinking loop because the panic notifier hadn't been
installed yet.

This patch installs it earlier.

It also fixes the problem which exposed the hang, namely that if you
give UML a zero-sized initrd, it will ask alloc_bootmem for zero
bytes, and that will cause the panic.

While I was in initrd.c, I gave it a style makeover.

Prompted by checkpatch, I moved a couple extern declarations of
uml_exitcode to kern_util.h.
