[PATCH 1/5] powerpc/numa: Only use active VPHN count fields

VPHN supports up to 8 distance fields but the number of entries in
ibm,associativity-reference-points signifies how many are in use.
Don't look at all the VPHN counts, only distance_ref_points_depth
worth.

Since we already cap our distance metrics at MAX_DISTANCE_REF_POINTS,
use that to size the VPHN arrays and add a BUILD_BUG_ON to avoid it growing
larger than the VPHN maximum of 8.
