[PATCH v3 1/2] powerpc/pseries: Simplify check for suspendability during suspend/migration

During suspend/migration operation we must wait for the VASI state reported
by the hypervisor to become Suspending prior to making the ibm,suspend-me
RTAS call. Calling routines to rtas_ibm_supend_me() pass a vasi_state variable
that exposes the VASI state to the caller. This is unnecessary as the caller
only really cares about the following three conditions; if there is an error
we should bailout, success indicating we have suspended and woken back up so
proceed to device tree update, or we are not suspendable yet so try calling
rtas_ibm_suspend_me again shortly.

This patch removes the extraneous vasi_state variable and simply uses the
return code to communicate how to proceed. We either succeed, fail, or get
-EAGAIN in which case we sleep for a second before trying to call
rtas_ibm_suspend_me again. The behaviour of ppc_rtas() remains the same,
but migrate_store() now returns the propogated error code on failure.
Previously -1 was returned from migrate_store() in the  failure case which
equates to -EPERM and was clearly wrong.

Changes in v3:
- Updated changelog with behaviour change of migrate_store() return code

Changes in v2:
- Addressed Cyril's comments as follow:
- Removed unused vasi_rc variable
- Kept return behavior of ppc_rtas the same in the case of VASI error
- Updated rtas_ibm_suspend_me function definition for !CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES
