[Skiboot] [RFC PATCH 2/3] powerpc/powernv: handle OPAL_SUCCESS return in opal_sensor_read

Currently, when a sensor value is read, the kernel calls OPAL, which in
turn builds a message for the FSP, and waits for a message back. However,
some sensors can be read synchronously (core temperatures for instance)
and don't need to wait for a response.

This patch modifies the opal call to accept an OPAL_SUCCESS return value
and not wait for a response if this is the case.

But, we still uselessly reserve a token (for the response) and take a
lock, which might raise the need of a new 'opal_sensor_read_sync' call.
