Subject[RFC v3] debug: prevent entering debug mode on errors
Date
From: Colin Cross <ccross@android.com>

debug: prevent entering debug mode on errors

On non-developer devices kgdb prevents CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT from rebooting the
device after a panic.

In case of panics and exceptions, to honor CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT, prevent
entering debug mode to avoid getting stuck waiting for the user to interact
with debugger.
