[PATCH v4 3/6] cpufreq: powernv: Register for OCC related opal_message notification

OCC is an On-Chip-Controller which takes care of power and thermal
safety of the chip. During runtime due to power failure or
overtemperature the OCC may throttle the frequencies of the CPUs to
remain within the power budget.

We want the cpufreq driver to be aware of such situations to be able
to report the reason to the user. We register to opal_message_notifier
to receive OCC messages from opal.

powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check() reports any frequency throttling and
this patch will report the reason or event that caused throttling. We
can be throttled if OCC is reset or OCC limits Pmax due to power or
thermal reasons. We are also notified of unthrottling after an OCC
reset or if OCC restores Pmax on the chip.

Changes from v3:
- Move the macro definitions of OCC_RESET, OCC_LOAD, OCC_THROTTLE to
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/opal-api.h
- Use 'struct opal_occ_msg' to copy the 'opal_msg->params[]' and refer
  the members of this structure in the code; Replace 'chip_id',
  'token' and 'reason' with omsg.chip, omsg.type, omsg.throttle_status
- Use OCC_MAX_THROTTLE_STATUS instead of the magic number.
- Add opal_message_notifier_unregister()

Changes from v2:
- Patch split in to multiple patches.
- This patch contains only the opal_message notification handler

Changes from v1:
- Add macros to define OCC_RESET, OCC_LOAD and OCC_THROTTLE
- Define a structure to store chip id, chip mask which has bits set
  for cpus present in the chip, throttled state and a work_struct.
- Modify powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check() to be called via smp_call()
- On Pmax throttling/unthrottling update 'chip.throttled' and not the
  global 'throttled' as Pmax capping is local to the chip.
- Remove the condition which checks if local pstate is less than Pmin
  while checking for Psafe frequency. When OCC becomes active after
  reset we update 'thottled' to false and when the cpufreq governor
  initiates a pstate change, the local pstate will be in Psafe and we
  will be reporting a false positive when we are not throttled.
- Schedule a kworker on receiving throttling/unthrottling OCC message
  for that chip and schedule on all chips after receiving active.
- After an OCC reset all the cpus will be in Psafe frequency. So call
  target() and restore the frequency to policy->cur after OCC_ACTIVE
  and Pmax unthrottling
- Taken care of Viresh and Preeti's comments.
