Documentation: Better document the softlockup_panic sysctl
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").
docs: trace: events.rst: convert some new stuff to ReST format
Some new chapters were added to the documentation. This caused
Sphinx to complain, as the literal blocks there are not properly
tagged as such. Also, a new note added there doesn't follow
the ReST format.
This fixes the following warnings:

scripts/sphinx-pre-install: add '-p python3' to virtualenv
With Ubuntu 16.04 (and presumably Debian distros of the same age),
the instructions for setting up a python virtual environment should
do so with the python 3 interpreter. On these older distros, the
default python (and virtualenv command) might be python2 based.
Some of the packages that sphinx relies on are now only available
for python3. If you don't specify the python3 interpreter for
the virtualenv, you get errors when doing the pip installs for
various packages
Fix this by adding '-p python3' to the virtualenv recommendation
line.
