[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/time: Only set ARCH_HAS_SCALED_CPUTIME on PPC64

scaled cputime is only meaningfull when the processor has
SPURR and/or PURR, which means only on PPC64.

Removing it on PPC32 significantly reduces the size of
vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle() on an 8xx:

Before:
00000114 l     F .text	000000a8 vtime_delta
000004c0 g     F .text	00000100 vtime_account_system
000005c0 g     F .text	00000048 vtime_account_idle

After:
(vtime_delta gets inlined in the two functions)
00000418 g     F .text	000000a0 vtime_account_system
000004b8 g     F .text	00000054 vtime_account_idle

In terms of performance, we also get approximatly 5% improvement on task switch:
The following small benchmark app is run with perf stat:

#include <pthread.h>

void *thread(void *arg)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < atoi((char*)arg); i++)
		pthread_yield();
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	pthread_t th1, th2;

	pthread_create(&th1, NULL, thread, argv[1]);
	pthread_create(&th2, NULL, thread, argv[1]);
	pthread_join(th1, NULL);
	pthread_join(th2, NULL);

	return 0;
}

Before the patch:

~# perf stat chrt -f 98 ./sched 100000

 Performance counter stats for 'chrt -f 98 ./sched 100000':

       8622.166272      task-clock (msec)         #    0.955 CPUs utilized      
            200027      context-switches          #    0.023 M/sec              

After the patch:

~# perf stat chrt -f 98 ./sched 100000

 Performance counter stats for 'chrt -f 98 ./sched 100000':

       8207.090048      task-clock (msec)         #    0.958 CPUs utilized      
            200025      context-switches          #    0.024 M/sec
