[PATCH 29/30] powerpc: ps3, pseries: Avoid duplicate call to kmsg_dump() on panic

Guilherme G. Piccoli

Currently both pseries and ps3 are platforms that define special
panic notifiers that run as callbacks inside powerpc generic panic
notifier. In both cases kmsg_dump() is called, and the reason seems
to be that both of these callbacks aims to effectively stop the
machine, so nothing would execute after that - hence, both force
a series of console flushing related operations, after calling
the kmsg dumpers.

Happens that recently the panic path was refactored, and now
kmsg_dump() is *certainly* called before the pre_reboot panic
notifiers, category in which both pseries/ps3 callbacks belong.
In other words: kmsg_dump() will execute twice in both platforms,
on panic path.

This patch prevents that by disabling the kmsg_dump() for both
platform's notifiers. But worth to notice that PowerNV still
has a legit use for executing kmsg_dump() in its unrecoverable
error path, so we rely in parameter passing to differentiate
both cases. Also, since the pre_reboot notifiers still run
earlier than console flushing routines, we kept that for
both pseries and ps3 platforms, only skipping kmsg_dump().
