powerpc/xmon: Fix invocation inside lock region 

Currently xmon needs to get devtree_lock (through rtas_token()) during its
invocation (at crash time). If there is a crash while devtree_lock is being
held, then xmon tries to get the lock but spins forever and never get into
the interactive debugger, as in the following case:

	int *ptr = NULL;
	raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&devtree_lock, flags);
	*ptr = 0xdeadbeef;

This patch avoids calling rtas_token(), thus trying to get the same lock,
at crash time. This new mechanism proposes getting the token at
initialization time (xmon_init()) and just consuming it at crash time.

This would allow xmon to be possible invoked independent of devtree_lock
being held or not.
