[PATCH v2] powerpc/crash: Fix non-smp kexec preparation

In non-smp configurations, crash_kexec_prepare is never called in
the crash shutdown path. One result of this is that the crashing_cpu
variable is never set, preventing crash_save_cpu from storing the
NT_PRSTATUS elf note in the core dump.

Fixes: c7255058b543 ("powerpc/crash: save cpu register data in crash_smp_send_stop()")
