commit 3b8070335f751aac9f1526ae2e012e6f5b8b0f21 upstream.
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.
Fixes: 628daa8d5a ("powerpc/powernv: Add RTC and NVRAM support plus RTAS fallbacks")
Depends-on: 34dd25de9fe3 ("powerpc/powernv: define a standard delay for OPAL_BUSY type retry loops")
