Commit 3fdd2629516d ("core/opal: Emergency stack for re-entry")
introduced an emergency stack for re-entrant OPAL calls. A branch was
added in opal_entry() that switches to emergency stack checks if
current thread is already in an active opal call. However the
conditional branch that checks the value cpu_thread->in_opal_call is
reverse forcing the use of emergency stack in even in non re-entrant
cases.

This causes a opal stack guard routine __mcount_stack_check() to
falsely assume that stack is overflown as stack pointer of
EMERGENCY_STACK is compared against the bounds of NORMAL_STACK,
forcing the function to call abort() with an error message of this
form:

 INIT: Starting kernel at 0x20010000, fdt at 0x3073f708 53664 bytes)
 CPU 0004 Stack overflow detected ! pc=3001d8ec sp=31c27c90 (gap=30488) token=70
 Aborting!
 CPU 0004 Backtrace:
 S: 0000000031c27b20 R: 000000003001ca2c E ._abort+0x60
 S: 0000000031c27bb0 R: 0000000030013e10 E .__mcount_stack_check+0x168
 S: 0000000031c27c90 R: 000000003001d8ec E .opal_entry_check+0x1c
 S: 0000000031c27d20 R: 00000000300051a4 E opal_entry+0xf4
 --- OPAL call token: 0x46 caller R1: 0xc0000000011e3e50 ---

So this patch update the 'bne' branch in opal_entry() to 'bgt' branch
so that switch to emergency stack only happens when current
cpu_thread->is_opal_call is greater than 1 indicating an re-entrant
opal call.
