"powerpc/pseries: Add POWER8NVL support to ibm,client-architecture-support call"
introduced a regression by adding fields to the beginning of the
ibm_architecture_vec structure without updating IBM_ARCH_VEC_NRCORES_OFFSET.
This causes the kernel to print a warning at boot and to fail to adjust
the number of cores based on the number of threads before doing the CAS
call to firmware.
This is quite a fragile piece of code sadly, we should try to find a way
to avoid that hard coded offset at some point, but for now this fixes it.
