[RFC 1/2] powerpc/mm: Add marker for contexts requiring global TLB invalidations

Introduce a new 'flags' attribute per context and define its first bit
to be a marker requiring all TLBIs for that context to be broadcasted
globally. Once that marker is set on a context, it cannot be removed.

Such a marker is useful for memory contexts used by devices behind the
NPU and CAPP/PSL. The NPU and the PSL keep their own
translation cache so they need to see all the TLBIs for those
contexts.
