[PATCH 1/3] powerpc: do not call ppc_md.panic in panic notifier if fadump not used

[Nicholas Piggin]

If fadump is not registered, and no other crash or debug handlers are
registered, the powerpc panic handler stops the guest before the generic
panic code can push out debug information to the console.

Without this patch, system reset injection to a guest causes the guest to
silently stop. Afterwards, we get the expected oops trace.
