core/opal: Allow poller re-entry if OPAL was re-entered

If an NMI interrupts the middle of running pollers and the OS
invokes pollers again (e.g., for console output), the poller
re-entrancy check will prevent it from running and spam the
console.

That check was designed to catch a poller calling opal_run_pollers,
OPAL re-entrancy is something different and is detected elsewhere.
Avoid the poller recursion check if OPAL has been re-entered. This
is a best-effort attempt to cope with errors.
