4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Nicholas Piggin npiggin@gmail.com
commit 741de617661794246f84a21a02fc5e327bffc9ad upstream.
opal_nvram_write currently just assumes success if it encounters an error other than OPAL_BUSY or OPAL_BUSY_EVENT. Have it return -EIO on other errors instead.
