[PATCH] ARM: machine_power_off should not return

From: Ezequiel Garcia <hidden>

Russell, any comments on this?

Without this patch we got the heartbeat's reboot_notifier called twice while
testing the recent hibernation patches, which was unexpected and produced a
kernel panic: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/19/363

Instead of fixing the heartbeat LED trigger, or the hibernation code, it
seems better to fix the ARM machine_power_off, as it's not supposed to return.

Add loop to prevent return from machine_power_off if
pm_power_off is null or does not halt the system.
This caused a panic during hibernation testing on Kirkwood
Openblocks A6 board.
