[Crash-utility] ppc: fix backtrace problem when NT_PRSTATUS was not saved

Hi Dave,

I've reworked patch about ppc "bt" problem discussed in
 https://www.redhat.com/archives/crash-utility/2012-June/msg00029.html

A patch is now getting to work only for ppc targets,
and notes are relocatecd in first ppc's "bt", not in initialization-time.

And I've tested both "bt" diskdump by makedumpfile and netdump by 
/proc/vmcore with patched kernel like
void crash_save_cpu(struct pt_regs *regs, int cpu)
        if ((cpu % 2))
                return;

I was worried about beeing able to catch all of non-contiguous NT_PRSTATUS
notes, alternate with invalid odd notes in every process well,
so I modified test case this time (that's no problem, everything OK).

[After initialization: notes are not relocated yet]
crash> help -D | grep notes
  num_prstatus_notes: 4
           notes_buf: 107a3518
            notes[0]: 107a3518
            notes[1]: 107a3638
            notes[2]: 107a3758
            notes[3]: 107a3878
