Switch PPC32 kernels from the generic_nvram module to the nvram module.

Also fix a theoretical bug where CHRP omits the chrp_nvram_init()
call when CONFIG_NVRAM_MODULE=m.

The change in the name of the module is visible to userspace. The module
that implements /dev/nvram on PowerPC now has suitable aliases, i.e.
MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(NVRAM_MINOR);
MODULE_ALIAS("devname:nvram");
so that the device special file can be automatically created and the
module automatically loaded when needed. Previously this was not the case.

Changed since v7:
 - Improved Kconfig help text for CONFIG_NVRAM.
 - Changed the default for CONFIG_NVRAM, which used to be "n". This is to
reduce the risk that CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM=y accidentally gets changed to
CONFIG_NVRAM=n.

Symbols like this really should be defined in common code, and then
just selected by the users.

I'll move it to arch/Kconfig.

Thanks.
