Subject: Fix hang in pnv_platform_error_reboot path due to TOD failure.

On TOD failure, with TB stuck, when linux heads down to
pnv_platform_error_reboot() path due to unrecoverable hmi event, the panic
cpu gets stuck in OPAL inside ipmi_queue_msg_sync(). At this time, rest
all other cpus are in smp_handle_nmi_ipi() waiting for panic cpu to proceed.
But with panic cpu stuck inside OPAL, linux never recovers/reboot.

This is because, there is a while loop towards the end of
ipmi_queue_msg_sync() which keeps looping until "sync_msg" does not match
with "msg". It loops over time_wait_ms() until exit condition is met. In
normal scenario time_wait_ms() calls run pollers so that ipmi backend gets
a chance to check ipmi response and set sync_msg to NULL.

	while (sync_msg == msg)
                time_wait_ms(10);

But in the event when TB is in failed state time_wait_ms()->time_wait_poll()
returns immediately without calling pollers and hence we end up looping
forever. This patch fixes this hang by calling opal_run_pollers() in TB
failed state as well.

Fixes: 1764f2452 ("opal: Fix hang in time_wait* calls on HMI for TB errors.")
