[PATCH 1/2] Preempt realtime Oops syslog

[Min Zhang]

Add bust_spinlocks when kernel die from do_trap to flush Oops
dump to syslog immediatly. Oops is missing from syslog if it is from
non-preemptible section, because on PREEMPT_RT kernel, Oops printk
doesn't wake up klogd from non-preemptible context; see
release_console_sem in kernel/printk.c. 

Tested by Oops in module_init and insmod that kernel module. The
Oops is in non-preemptive context because modules are loaded from 
inside a realtime priority thread in a preemptive realtime kernel. 

Only apply to PPC arch because bust_spinlocks has already been used 
by x86 and other architectures
