[PATCH] powernv: Avoid checkstop on HMI and MCE

[Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>]

On an unrecoverable HMI or MCE only generate an checkstop (via
PLATFORM ERROR opal reboot call) when panic_on_oops is set.

We currently generate an checkstop as an attempt for the FSP to grab a
dump and then reboot us. Unfortunately this never works and no one
I've talked to has ever seen a resulting dump, let alone got useful
information from it.

Even worse, the checkstop gets in the way of debugging real
problems. If we hit a software bug that results in this, we get no
opportunity to debug it live. Similarly if the bug is due to hardware
that is not in the dump (say PCI or NVLINK GPU), we get no information
in the dump about that hardware.

So let's remove it unless someone sets panic_on_oops.
