rtc-opal: Fix handling of firmware error codes, prevent busy loops
According to the OPAL docs: skiboot-5.2.5/doc/opal-api/opal-rtc-read-3.txt skiboot-5.2.5/doc/opal-api/opal-rtc-write-4.txt OPAL_HARDWARE may be returned from OPAL_RTC_READ or OPAL_RTC_WRITE and this indicates either a transient or permanent error. Prior to this patch, Linux was not dealing with OPAL_HARDWARE being a permanent error particularly well, in that you could end up in a busy loop. This was not too hard to trigger on an AMI BMC based OpenPOWER machine doing a continuous "ipmitool mc reset cold" to the BMC, the result of that being that we'd get stuck in an infinite loop in opal_get_rtc_time(). We now retry a few times before returning the error higher up the stack.
