[Skiboot] [PATCH] opal: use for_each_safe to iterate over opal_syncers

Presently a fault will happen in opal_sync_host_reboot if a callback
tries to remove itself from the opal_syncers list by calling
opal_del_host_sync_notifier.
This happens as iteration over opal_syncers is done using the
list_for_each() which doesn't preserve list_node->next. So when
the current opal_syncers callback removes itself from the list, current
node contents are lost and current_node->next pointer is rendered
invalid.
To fix this we simply switch from list_for_each() to
list_for_each_safe() which keeps the current_node->next cached hence
even if the current node is freed, iteration over subsequent nodes can
still continue.
