MORE INFORMATION: This seems to be now called the "Oceania December 2 2017 Bug" bug (or something in the line) and 11.2 solves it as most of the people report, but it seems that only if you update after 00:15 CET on December 2, 2017. I'm not sure how it goes, but maybe the installer has been patched and now contains a fix for this, I don't know...
If you already had 11.2 prior to 0:15 CET on December 2, which some people seem to have, you just need to restore your iPhone through iTunes, which will fetch the latest updater.

Also, if you can't get to the update because of the constant respring, change the date manually to December 1 or a prior date and manually turn off Notifications for every single App... then do the update and only after that, re-enable notifications one-by-one... I don't know how important this step is, but it's in the release instructions.

Thanks to lucas1501 for pointing out a temporary fix. I was really desperate before stumbling on your post.
