[PATCH v2 10/10] powerpc/traps: Add line prefix in show_instructions()

Remove "Instruction dump:" line by adding a prefix to display current->comm
and current->pid, along with the instructions dump.

The prefix can serve as a glue that links the instructions dump to its
originator, allowing messages to be interleaved in the logs.

Before this patch, a page fault looked like:

    pandafault[10524]: segfault (11) at 00000000100007d0 nip 000000001000061c lr 00007fffbd295100 code 2 in pandafault[10000000+10000]
    Instruction dump:
    4bfffeec 4bfffee8 3c401002 38427f00 fbe1fff8 f821ffc1 7c3f0b78 3d22fffe
    392988d0 f93f0020 e93f0020 39400048 <99490000> 39200000 7d234b78 383f0040

After this patch, it looks like:

    pandafault[10850]: segfault (11) at 00000000100007d0 nip 000000001000061c lr 00007fff9f3e5100 code 2 in pandafault[10000000+10000]
