[Skiboot] [PATCH v2] opal/hmi: Wakeup the cpu before reading core_fir

When stop state 5 is enabled, reading the core_fir during an HMI can
result in a xscom read error with xscom_read() returning an
OPAL_XSCOM_PARTIAL_GOOD error code and core_fir value of all FFs. At
present this return error code is not handled in decode_core_fir()
hence the invalid core_fir value is sent to the kernel where it
interprets it as a FATAL hmi causing a system check-stop.

This can be prevented by forcing the core to wake-up using before
reading the core_fir. Hence this patch wraps the call to
read_core_fir() within calls to dctl_set_special_wakeup() and
dctl_clear_special_wakeup().

Change-log:

v2	-> Simplified the flow to just wrap read_core_fir() in
	dctl_set/clear_special_wakeup instead. [Mahesh]
