powerpc: Use WARN instead of dump_stack when printing EEH error backtrace
When we get an EEH error we just print a backtrace with dump_stack which is rather cryptic. We really should print something before spewing out the backtrace. Also switch from dump_stack to WARN so we get more information about the fail - what modules were loaded, what process was running etc. This was useful information when debugging a recent EEH subsystem bug. The standard WARN output should also get picked up by monitoring tools like kerneloops. The register dump is of questionable value here but I figured it was better to use something standard and not roll my own.
