powerpc/hmi: Fix kernel hang when TB is in error state.
On TOD/TB errors timebase register stops/freezes until HMI error recovery gets TOD/TB back into running state. On successful recovery, TB starts running again and udelay() that relies on TB value continues to function properly. But in case when HMI fails to recover from TOD/TB errors, the TB register stay freezed. With TB not running the __delay() function keeps looping and never return. If __delay() is called while in panic path then system hangs and never reboots after panic.
