The current implementation of kdump on INIT events would enter
kdump processing on DIE_INIT_MONARCH_ENTER and DIE_INIT_SLAVE_ENTER
events. Thus, the monarch cpu would go ahead and boot up the kdump
kernel without waiting for slave cpus to get ready.
On SN shub2 systems, this out-of-sync situation causes some slave
cpus on different nodes to enter POD.
This patch moves kdump entry points to DIE_INIT_MONARCH_LEAVE and
DIE_INIT_SLAVE_LEAVE. It also sets kdump_in_progress variable in
the DIE_INIT_MONARCH_PROCESS event to not dump all active stack
traces to the console in the case of kdump.
I have tested this patch on an SN machine and a HP RX2600.
