commit 7535b832c6399b5ebfc5b53af5c51dd915ee2538 upstream.

Use a temporary variable to take full advantage of READ_ONCE() behavior.
Without this, the report (and even the test) might be out of sync with
the initial test.

Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Fixes: 9fc9e278a5c0 ("panic: Introduce warn_limit")
Fixes: d4ccd54d28d3 ("exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops")
