powerpc/powernv: Fix OPAL NVRAM driver OPAL_BUSY loops

npiggin · mpe · commit 3b8070335f75 · 2018-04-11T11:58:43.000+10:00
The OPAL NVRAM driver does not sleep in case it gets OPAL_BUSY or OPAL_BUSY_EVENT from firmware, which causes large scheduling latencies, and various lockup errors to trigger (again, BMC reboot can cause it). Fix this by converting it to the standard form OPAL_BUSY loop that sleeps.
