NBCON is meant to deprecate @oops_in_progress. However, it is true that
consoles not implementing ->write_atomic() will never print panic
output.

Below is a silly little testcase that makes it more convenient to test
if crashes are getting out in a few canned cases, in case anyone else
finds it useful.

I gave it a go.

Testing this on 6.17-rc5 on a Pi 4b, I don't get any netconsole output
at all for any crash case over wifi, so that already doesn't work. All
the cases currently work over ethernet.

With local hackery on top of Breno's patches I captured all testcases
for RT and !RT wired and wireless except for one RT wired instance due
to a GPF_ATOMIC allocation failure.

The wireless stack was unhappy about ending up in an nbcon write_atomic
method with IRQs disabled, thus sent complaints along with the oopsen.
