powerpc/ptrace: Remove BUG_ON when full register set not available
In some cases during a threaded core dump not all the threads will have a full register set. This happens when the signal causing the core dump races with a thread exiting. The race happens when the exiting thread has entered the kernel for the last time before the signal arrives, but doesn't get far enough through the exit code to avoid being included in the core dump. So we get a thread included in the core dump which is never going to go out to userspace again and only has a partial register set recorded Normally we would catch each thread as it is about to go into userspace and capture the full register set then. However, this exiting thread is never going to go out to userspace again, so we have no way to capture its full register set. It doesn't really matter, though, as this is a thread which is effectively already dead. So instead of hitting a BUG() in this case (a really bad choice of action in the first place), we use a poison value for the register values.
