My MacBook Pro gets a kernel panic on shutdown or reboot

Question

My Macbook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) kernel panic every time when shutdown or reboot. I'm currently using OS X 10.11 El Capitan. How can I solve this issue?

Here is the panic report

There are many sources will cause a kernel panic. For this case, the root cause is disabled compressed memory.

First, please make sure compressed memory is disabled with Terminal

sysctl -a vm.compressor_mode

The output is like:

vm.compressor_mode: 1 --> Disabled
vm.compressor_mode: 4 --> Enabled (Default)

If compressed memory is disabled, you can reset NVRAM by booting with holding Option+Cmd+P+R.

Alternatively, you can reset NVRAM boot-args with Terminal. But use this way cautiously.

sudo nvram boot-args=""

After reset NVRAM, compressed memory will be enabled by default.

Edit: Thanks to @jrodatus for providing another way to reset NVRAM.
