[PATCH 2/3] powerpc/powernv: Always stop secondaries before reboot/shutdown

Currently powernv reboot and shutdown requests just leave secondaries
to do their own things. This is undesirable because they can trigger
any number of watchdogs while waiting for reboot, but also we don't
know what else they might be doing, or they might be stuck somewhere
causing trouble.

The opal scheduled flash update code already ran into watchdog problems
due to flashing taking a long time, but it's possible for regular
reboots to trigger problems too (this is with watchdog_thresh set to 1,
but I have seen it with watchdog_thresh at the default value once too):

  reboot: Restarting system
  [  360.038896709,5] OPAL: Reboot request...
  Watchdog CPU:0 Hard LOCKUP
  Watchdog CPU:44 detected Hard LOCKUP other CPUS:16
  Watchdog CPU:16 Hard LOCKUP
  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#16 stuck for 3s! [swapper/16:0]

So remove the special case for flash update, and unconditionally do
smp_send_stop before rebooting.

Return the CPUs to Linux stop loops rather than OPAL. The reason for
this is that in firmware, CPUs will check for jobs, whereas smp_send_stop
puts them into a simple infinite loop. If there is some corruption, it
is better to do the latter, to maximize the chance of a successful
reboot.
