[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/powernv: Pull all HMI events before panic.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

In the event of unrecovered HMI the existing code panics as soon as
it receives the first unrecovered HMI event. This makes host to report
partial information about HMIs before panic. There may be more errors
which would have caused the HMI and hence more HMI event would have been
generated waiting to be pulled by host. This patch implements a logic to
pull and display all the HMI event before going down panic path.
