[PATCH v3 3/12] Add PRRN event handler

From: Jesse Larrew <jlarrew at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

A PRRN event is signaled via the RTAS event-scan mechanism, which
returns a Hot Plug Event message "fixed part" indicating "Platform
Resource Reassignment". In response to the Hot Plug Event message,
we must call ibm,update-nodes to determine which resources were
reassigned and then ibm,update-properties to obtain the new affinity
information about those resources.

The PRRN event-scan RTAS message contains only the "fixed part" with
the "Type" field set to the value 160 and no Extended Event Log. The
four-byte Extended Event Log Length field is repurposed (since no
Extended Event Log message is included) to pass the "scope" parameter
that causes the ibm,update-nodes to return the nodes affected by the
specific resource reassignment.

This patch adds a handler for PRRN RTAS events. The function
pseries_devicetree_update() (from mobility.c) is used to make the
ibm,update-nodes/ibm,update-properties RTAS calls. Updating the NUMA maps
(handled by a subsequent patch) will require significant processing,
so pseries_devicetree_update() is called from an asynchronous workqueue
to allow event processing to continue. 

PRRN RTAS events on pseries systems are rare events that have to be
initiated from the HMC console for the system by an IBM tech. This allows
us to assume that these events are widely spaced. Additionally, all work
on the queue is flushed before handling any new work to ensure we only have
one event in flight being handled at a time.
