[PATCH] kexec: ppc64: print help to stdout instead of stderr

Currently 'kexec --help' on powerpc64 prints the generic help/usage to
stdout, and the powerpc64 specific options to stderr
That is, if the stdout of 'kexec --help' is redirected to some file,
some of the help options will not be redirected, and instead printed on
the terminal/stderr:
[root at machine kexec-tools]# kexec --help > /tmp/out
--command-line=<Command line> command line to append.
--append=<Command line> same as --command-line.
--ramdisk=<filename> Initial RAM disk.
--initrd=<filename> same as --ramdisk.
--devicetreeblob=<filename> Specify device tree blob file.
Not applicable while using
--kexec-file-syscall.
--dtb=<filename> same as --devicetreeblob.
elf support is still broken
--elf64-core-headers Prepare core headers in ELF64 format
--dt-no-old-root Do not reuse old kernel root= param.
while creating flatten device tree.
Fix this inconsistency by writing powerpc64 specific options to stdout,
similar to the generic 'kexec --help'
With the proposed changes, it is like this (nothing printed to stderr):
[root at machine kexec-tools]# ./build/sbin/kexec --help > /tmp/out
