Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/kdump: Fix timeout in crash_kexec_wait_realmode

From: Anton Blanchard <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2011 16:12:02 +1000

We check for timeout expiry in the outer loop, but we also need to
check it in the inner loop or we can lock up forever waiting for a
CPU to hit real mode.
