This patch renames the panic_notifier_list to panic_pre_reboot_list;
the idea is that a subsequent patch will refactor the panic path
in order to better split the notifiers, running some of them very
early, some of them not so early [but still before kmsg_dump()] and
finally, the rest should execute late, after kdump. The latter ones
are now in the panic pre-reboot list - the name comes from the idea
that these notifiers execute before panic() attempts rebooting the
machine (if that option is set).

We also took the opportunity to clean-up useless header inclusions,
improve some notifier block declarations (e.g. in ibmasm/heartbeat.c)
and more important, change some priorities - we hereby set 2 notifiers
to run late in the list [iss_panic_event() and the IPMI panic_event()]
due to the risks they offer (may not return, for example).
Proper documentation is going to be provided in a subsequent patch,
that effectively refactors the panic path.
