[PATCH v6 2/5] cpufreq: powernv: Remove cpu_to_chip_id() from hot-path

cpu_to_chip_id() does a DT walk through to find out the chip id by
taking a contended device tree lock. This adds an unnecessary overhead
in a hot path. So instead of calling cpu_to_chip_id() everytime cache
the chip ids for all cores in the array 'core_to_chip_map' and use it
in the hotpath.

No changes from v5.

Changes from v4:
- Taken care of Shreyas's comments to add a core_to_chip_map array to
  store the chip id.
