    xen/console: Fix truncation of panic() messages
    
    The panic() function uses a static buffer to format its arguments into, 
simply
    to emit the result via printk("%s", buf).  This buffer is not large enough 
for
    some existing users in Xen.  e.g.:
    
      (XEN) ****************************************
      (XEN) Panic on CPU 0:
      (XEN) Invalid device tree blob at physical address 0x46a00000.
      (XEN) The DTB must be 8-byte aligned and must not exceed 2 MB in size.
      (XEN)
      (XEN) Plea****************************************
    
    The remainder of this particular message is 'e check your bootloader.', but
    has been inherited by RISC-V from ARM.
    
    It is also pointless double buffering.  Implement vprintk() beside printk(),
    and use it directly rather than rendering into a local buffer, removing it 
as
    one source of message limitation.
    
    This marginally simplifies panic(), and drops a global used-once buffer.
