powerpc/crash: Use NMI context for printk when starting to crash
Currently, if printk lock (logbuf_lock) is held by other thread during crash, there is a chance of deadlocking the crash on next printk, and blocking a possibly desired kdump. At the start of default_machine_crash_shutdown, make printk enter NMI context, as it will use per-cpu buffers to store the message, and avoid locking logbuf_lock.
