ppc/spapr: Ignore common "ibm,nmi-interlock" Linux bug
Linux kernels call "ibm,nmi-interlock" in their system reset handlers contrary to PAPR. Returning an error because the CPU does not hold the interlock here causes Linux to print warning messages. PowerVM returns success in this case, so do the same for now.
