IPMI: Trigger OPAL TI in abort path.

[ Upstream commit a810d1fe7a1631dc1eb211ff70885f044cb40904 ]

The current assert/abort implementation for BMC based system invokes cec
reboot after printing backtrace. This means that BMC never gets notified
about OPAL crash/termination. This sometimes leads into never ending
IPL-ing loop if OPAL keeps aborting very early in boot path.

Trigger a software xstop (OPAL TI) to inform BMC about the OPAL
termination. BMC is capable of catching checkstop signal and facilitate in
rebooting (IPL-ing) host.

With AutoReboot policy, OpenBMC handles checkstop signals and counts them
against the reboot counter. In cases where OPAL is crashing before host
reaches to runtime, OpenBMC will move the system in Quiesced state after 3
or so attempts of IPL/reboot so that system can be debugged. When OPAL
triggers software checkstop it causes all the CPU threads to be stooped and
moved to quiesced state. Hence OPAL don't need to explicitly stop all CPUs
before calling software xstop.
