kernel/fatal: Fatal errors must not be preempted
The code underneath z_fatal_error() (which is usually run in an
exception context, but is not required to be) was running with
interrupts enabled, which is a little surprising.
The only bug present currently is that the CPU ID extracted for
logging is subject to a race (i.e. it's possible but very unlikely
that such a handler might migrate to another CPU after the error is
flagged and log the wrong CPU ID), but in general users with custom
error handlers are likely to be surprised when their dying threads
gets preempted by other code before they can abort.
