[PATCH] powerpc: Invoke kdump for system reset exception

Invoke kdump for system reset exception

Dump restart operation from HMC raises system reset exception
(0x100) and xmon is invoked(even if kdump kernel is loaded). User has to
exit from xmon by saying 'Don't recover' to invoke kdump. Modify this
behaviour so that xmon will return immediately for system reset
exception and kdump kernel will be invoked (if its loaded). If kdump
kernel is not loaded, proceed with xmon
