[v2,1/3] powerpc: Stop using pr_cont() in __die()

Using pr_cont() risks having our output interleaved with other output
from other CPUs. Instead print everything in a single printk() call.

v2: Use a single printk with (mostly) compile time checks rather than
constructing the string with seq_buf.

Maybe this printk() should also be merge with the following to further 
limit risks of interleaving ?

Possibly yeah.

Though I was comparing it to other arches and I think we could improve
the info on that line. So I'll leave it for now.
