powerpc/64s: Reimplement book3s idle code in C

Reimplement Book3S idle code in C, moving POWER7/8/9 implementation
speific HV idle code to the powernv platform code.

Book3S assembly stubs are kept in common code and used only to save
the stack frame and non-volatile GPRs before executing architected
idle instructions, and restoring the stack and reloading GPRs then
returning to C after waking from idle.

The complex logic dealing with threads and subcores, locking, SPRs,
HMIs, timebase resync, etc., is all done in C which makes it more
maintainable.

This is not a strict translation to C code, there are some
significant differences:

- Idle wakeup no longer uses the ->cpu_restore call to reinit SPRs,
  but saves and restores them itself.

- The optimisation where EC=ESL=0 idle modes did not have to save GPRs
  or change MSR is restored, because it's now simple to do. ESL=1
  sleeps that do not lose GPRs can use this optimization too.

- KVM secondary entry and cede is now more of a call/return style
  rather than branchy. nap_state_lost is not required because KVM
  always returns via NVGPR restoring path.

- KVM secondary wakeup from offline sequence is moved entirely into
  the offline wakeup, which avoids a hwsync in the normal idle wakeup
  path.

Performance measured with context switch ping-pong on different
threads or cores, is possibly improved a small amount, 1-3% depending
on stop state and core vs thread test for shallow states. Deep states
it's in the noise compared with other latencies.

KVM improvements:

- Idle sleepers now always return to caller rather than branch out
  to KVM first.

- This allows optimisations like very fast return to caller when no
  state has been lost.

- KVM no longer requires nap_state_lost because it controls NVGPR
  save/restore itself on the way in and out.

- The heavy idle wakeup KVM request check can be moved out of the
  normal host idle code and into the not-performance-critical offline
  code.

- KVM nap code now returns from where it is called, which makes the
  flow a bit easier to follow.
