[PATCH] kexec ppc64: fix misaligned cmdline

If the cmdline changes between boots, we can get misalignment of the
bootargs entry, which in turn corrupts our device tree blob and hence
kills our kexec boot.  Also, if there was no /chosen/bootargs
previously, we'd never add a new one. 

This ignores the bootargs while parsing the tree and inserts it later.

This hopefully address issues raised by Milton.
