[PATCH] ppc/fadump: invoke kmsg_dump in fadump panic path

fadump is registered in panic_notifier_list and gets triggered
before kmsg_dump_desc() in the panic path. As a result,
kmsg_dumpers (e.g. pstore) are not executed.
Invoke kmsg_dump_desc() from the fadump handler to ensure
kmsg_dumpers are called during panic.
