[PATCH 3/3] powerpc/xmon: Don't signal we've entered until we're finished printing

Currently we set our cpu's bit in cpus_in_xmon, and then we take the
output lock and print the exception information.
This can race with the master cpu entering the command loop and printing
the backtrace. The result is that the backtrace gets garbled with
another cpu's exception print out.
Fix it by delaying the set of cpus_in_xmon until we are finished
printing.
