https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/commit/2947eaa14e771e572d4e84bf003318c590c1c7d4
we only fence the bricks in npu2_dev_procedure_reset()
(https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/blob/master/hw/npu2-hw-procedures.c#L937)
which itself is only called from the FLR path and not the code path you point
out above.

The code path above only resets the NTL which I don't believe is sufficient to
prevent HMIs.
