Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] powerpc/fadump: make is_kdump_kernel() return false when fadump is active

Currently, is_kdump_kernel() returns true in crash dump capture kernel
for both kdump and fadump crash dump capturing methods, as both these
methods set elfcorehdr_addr. Some restrictions enforced for crash dump
capture kernel, based on is_kdump_kernel(), are specifically meant for
kdump case and not desirable for fadump - eg. IO queues restriction in
device drivers. So, define is_kdump_kernel() to return false when f/w
assisted dump is active.
