[POWERPC] pseries: Fix jumbled no_logging flag

Get rid of the jumbled usage of the no_logging flag. Its use
spans several directories, and is incorrectly/misleadingly
documented. Instead, two changes:
1) nvram will accept error log as soon as its ready.
2) logging to nvram stops on the first fatal error reported.
