Documentation for the kernel.modprobe sysctl was added both by
commit 0317c5371e6a ("docs: merge debugging-modules.txt into
sysctl/kernel.rst") and by commit 6e7158250625 ("docs: admin-guide:
document the kernel.modprobe sysctl"), resulting in the same sysctl
being documented in two places.  Merge these into one place.

Document the kernel.modprobe sysctl in the same place that all the other
kernel.* sysctls are documented.  Make sure to mention how to use this
sysctl to completely disable module autoloading, and how this sysctl
relates to CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER.

<title>Documentation: Better document the softlockup_panic sysctl</title>

Commit 9c44bc03fff4 ("softlockup: allow panic on lockup") added the
softlockup_panic sysctl, but didn't add information about it to the file
Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.rst (which in that time certainly
wasn't rst and had other name!).

This patch just adds the respective documentation and references it from
the corresponding entry in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt.

This patch was strongly based on Scott Wood's commit d22881dc13b6
("Documentation: Better document the hardlockup_panic sysctl").

This script allows sysctl documentation to be checked against the
kernel source code, to identify missing or obsolete entries. Running
it against 5.5 shows for example that sysctl/kernel.rst has two
obsolete entries and is missing 52 entries.

The description of panic doesn’t cover all the supported scenarios;
this patch fixes that, describing the three possibilities (no reboot,
immediate reboot, reboot after a delay).

Based on the implementation in kernel/panic.c.
