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 such as
pstore are not executed during fadump crashes.
This is problematic because pstore provides a critical fallback mechanism
for crash analysis. When fadump fails to successfully reboot the system
or capture a dump, pstore logs may be the only available information from
the crashed kernel. Without invoking kmsg_dump_desc() in the fadump path,
we lose this valuable diagnostic data.
Invoke kmsg_dump_desc() from the fadump panic handler, but only when
fadump is actually registered (checked via should_fadump_crash()). This
ensures kmsg_dumpers are called without duplicating the call that occurs
later in panic() when fadump is not active.
The call is placed before crash_fadump() to ensure logs are captured
before the system attempts to trigger the firmware-assisted dump.
