OPAL console IO should avoid locks and complexity where possible, to
maximise the chance of it working if there are crashes or bugs. This
poll is not necessary, opal_console_read can handle no input.

In a future patch, Linux will provide a console service to OPAL via the
OPAL console, so it must avoid using any other OPAL calls in this path.
