Switch PPC32 kernels from the generic_nvram module to the nvram module.
Also fix a theoretical bug where CHRP omits the chrp_nvram_init()
call when CONFIG_NVRAM_MODULE=m.
As before, when CONFIG_PPC && !CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET
ioctl is unimplemented. For the nvram module, unimplemented ioctls return
-ENOTTY. Whereas, for the superseded generic_nvram module they would
return -EINVAL.

This ioctl change is visible to userspace code but only in an error path.
I didn't find any userspace code that uses the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl.
The change in the name of the module is also visible. The module that
implements /dev/nvram on PowerPC now has suitable aliases, i.e.
MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(NVRAM_MINOR);
MODULE_ALIAS("devname:nvram");
so that the device special file can be automatically created and the
module automatically loaded when needed. Previously this was not the case.

Changes since v1:
- Small indentation fix.
