powerpc: Fix oops if scan_dispatch_log is called too early

We currently enable interrupts before the dispatch log for the boot
cpu is setup. If a timer interrupt comes in early enough we oops in
scan_dispatch_log:

Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000010

...

.scan_dispatch_log+0xb0/0x170
.account_system_vtime+0xa0/0x220
.irq_enter+0x88/0xc0
.do_IRQ+0x48/0x230

The patch below adds a check to scan_dispatch_log to ensure the
dispatch log has been allocated.
