[PATCH] powerpc/prom: Add CPU info to hardware description string later

From: Nathan Lynch <nathanl at linux.ibm.com>
cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name is appended to ppc_hw_desc before cur_cpu_spec
has taken on its final value. This is illustrated on pseries by
comparing the CPU name as reported at boot ("POWER8E (raw)") to the
contents of /proc/cpuinfo ("POWER8 (architected)"):
$ dmesg | grep Hardware
Hardware name: IBM,8408-E8E POWER8E (raw) 0x4b0201 0xf000004 \
of:IBM,FW860.50 (SV860_146) hv:phyp pSeries
$ grep -m 1 ^cpu /proc/cpuinfo
cpu : POWER8 (architected), altivec supported
Some 44x models would appear to be affected as well; see
identical_pvr_fixup().
This results in incorrect CPU information in stack dumps --
ppc_hw_desc is an input to dump_stack_set_arch_desc().
Delay gathering the CPU name until after all potential calls to
identify_cpu().

Originally sent as part of a RFC series to update the hardware
description at runtime for live migration:
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20240118-update-dump-stack-arch-str-v1-0-5c0f98d017b5@linux.ibm.com/
Sending this separately as a standalone fix before I take that effort
up again.
