ddb stops the other CPUs (at least on i386's, unless you have edited
smptests.h to comment out the option CPUSTOP_ON_DDBBREAK which should
be non-optional (always enabled)), but plain panic() doesn't stop them
immediately, so much may happen on other CPUs if ddb is not called
from panic() or if ddb has problems stopping the CPUs.  ddb does have
problems stopping the CPU's, but I don't see how it can reach the db>
prompt before stopping them.  The main problem is that stopping all
the other CPUs may be impossible because one of them is looping with
IPIs disabled, perhaps because it is trying to enter ddb (and stop
other CPUs) too.  All CPUs entering ddb should hang in this case.

Half-baked fixes:

This is supposed to wait for the other CPUs to either stop or enter
ddb.  They shouldn't loop with interrupts disabled anywhere else.  The
output_lock stuff here is especially half baked.  The
VERBOSE_CPUSTOP_ON_DDBBREAK option should be non-optional (always
disabled), but I needed something to debug concurrent entry and
interleaved output is hard to read.
