[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/mm: Add tracking of the number of coprocessors using a context

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh at kernel.crashing.org>

Currently, when using coprocessors (which use the Nest MMU), we
simply increment the active_cpu count to force all TLB invalidations
to be come broadcast.

Unfortunately, due to an errata in POWER9, we will need to know
more specifically that coprocessors are in use.

This maintains a separate copros counter in the MMU context for
that purpose.
