4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Nicholas Piggin <npig...@gmail.com> commit c1d2a31397ec51f0370f6bd17b19b39152c263cb upstream. Similarly to opal_event_shutdown, opal_nvram_write can be called in the crash path with irqs disabled. Special case the delay to avoid sleeping in invalid context.
