[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/64s: idle skip POWER9 DD1 and DD2.0 specific workarounds on DD2.1

DD2.1 does not have to flush the ERAT after a state-loss idle. It also
does not have to save and restore MMCR0 (although it does have to save
restore in deep idle states, like other PMU registers).

Performance testing was done on a DD2.1 using only the stop0 idle state
(the shallowest state which supports state loss), using context_switch
selftest configured to ping-poing between two threads on the same core
and two different cores.

Performance improvement for same core is 7.0%, different cores is 14.8%.
