[PATCH] arc: Show fault information passed to show_kernel_fault_diag()

Currently we pass a string argument to show_kernel_fault_diag() which
describes the reason for the fault. This is not being used so just
add a pr_info() which outputs the fault information.

With this change we get from:
--------------------------
Path: /bin/busybox
CPU: 0 PID: 92 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 4.12.0-rc6 #30
task: 9a254780 task.stack: 9a212000

[ECR   ]: 0x00200400 => Other Fatal Err
--------------------------
to:
--------------------------
Machine Check Exception
Path: /bin/busybox
CPU: 0 PID: 92 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 4.12.0-rc6 #37
task: 9a240780 task.stack: 9a226000

[ECR   ]: 0x00200400 => Other Fatal Err
--------------------------

Which can help debugging.
