[POWERPC] Fix panic in RTAS code
Some older pSeries machines were panicking in pSeries_log_error because it was getting called before it was ready. This is a result of commit "[POWERPC] pseries: Fix jumbled no_logging flag." (79c0108d1b9db4864ab77b2a95dfa04f2dcf264c). This fixes it by explicitly enabling RTAS error logging when it has been initialized, and also makes the code clearer by renaming the "no_more_logging" variable to "logging_enabled".
