Pingfan Liu a585f981bd kexec.rules: create dedicated udev rules for ppc64 
On powerpc, after hot add cpu and trigger crash on the hot-added cpu, the
kdump kernel hangs after "I'm in purgatory".

The current udev rules expects the dtb to be rebuit on cpu add/remove event.
But since powerpc does not follow the standard cpu hot add framework, it
only ejects online/offline event to user space when cpu is hot
added/removed, instead of add/remove event.  Pingfan tried fixing that but
it didn't please the maintainer as it breaks some old userspace tools.

Due to the failure of dtb's rebuilding, KDump kernel fails to get the
'boot_cpuid' and eventually fails to boot [see early_init_dt_scan_cpus() in
arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c file] if system crashes on hot-added CPU.

Work around it by changing udev rules on powerpc to onlne/offline.

As for offline message, it is even useless on powerpc, and can be dropped.
See the explain: On powerpc, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX nodes are present
for all "possible", irrespective of whether a CPU is hot-added/removed.
crash_notes are already built for all /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX nodes and
these nodes are present for all "possible" CPUs
