ppc_process_elf_notes is called only for diskdump, not for netdump.
And all the process_elf_notes(), update the diskdump_data->nt_prstatus_percpu[],
which(dd) is not available in the arch specific files.
For netdump we don't end up calling the ppc_process_elf_notes(), which is true
for any other archs. I am setting this for the netdump case, so that we can reuse
the same function for stack frame from the pt_regs.
