Subject: [PATCH 4.4 56/92] powerpc/powernv: Fix NVRAM sleep in invalid context when crashing

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@...il.com>

commit c1d2a31397ec51f0370f6bd17b19b39152c263cb upstream.

Similarly to opal_event_shutdown, opal_nvram_write can be called in
the crash path with irqs disabled. Special case the delay to avoid
sleeping in invalid context.

Fixes: 3b8070335f75 ("powerpc/powernv: Fix OPAL NVRAM driver OPAL_BUSY loops")
