powertop: fix segfault in dump mode
The cause is: in dump mode, setup_windows() is not invoked so the *_window variables, like cstate_window, are still NULL; later in main() -> show_cstates(), the functions, like wrefresh(), will trigger segfault. After discussing in PowerTop mailling list, I think the right solution is we should stub out the ncurses calls in dump mode. (The patch was also sent to upstream PowerTop mailling list.) This fixes [BUGID #195]: Bug 195 - [sdk] powertop segfault when running with dump option Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui <dexuan.cui@intel.com>
