Subject: [PATCH 7/7] ia64, kdump: Short path to freeze CPUs

Setting monarch_cpu = -1 to let slaves frozen might not work, because
there might be slaves being late, not entered the rendezvous yet.
Such slaves might be caught in while (monarch_cpu == -1) loop.

Use kdump_in_progress instead of monarch_cpus to break INIT rendezvous
and let all slaves enter DIE_INIT_SLAVE_LEAVE smoothly.

And monarch no longer need to manage rendezvous if once kdump_in_progress
is set, catch the monarch in DIE_INIT_MONARCH_ENTER then.
