[PATCH 1/3] powerpc/smp: Fix NMI IPI timeout

The NMI IPI timeout logic is broken, if __smp_send_nmi_ipi times out
on the first condition, delay_us will be zero which will send it into
the second spin loop with no timeout so it will spin forever.

Fixes: 5b73151fff63 ("powerpc: NMI IPI make NMI IPIs fully sychronous")
