powerpc/powernv: call OPAL_QUIESCE before OPAL_SIGNAL_SYSTEM_RESET
Although it is often possible to recover a CPU that was interrupted from OPAL with a system reset NMI, it's undesirable to interrupt them for a few reasons. Firstly because dump/debug code itself needs to call firmware, so it could hang on a lock or possibly corrupt a per-cpu data structure if it or another CPU was interrupted from OPAL. Secondly, the kexec crash dump code will not return from interrupt to unwind the OPAL call. Call OPAL_QUIESCE with QUIESCE_HOLD before sending an NMI IPI to another CPU, which wait for it to leave firmware (or time out) to avoid this problem in normal conditions. Firmware bugs may still result in a timeout and interrupting OPAL, but that is the best option (stops the CPU, and possibly allows firmware to be debugged).
