[PATCH] powerpc/powernv: Add mmap to opal export sysfs nodes

The sysfs nodes created under /opal/exports/ do not currently support
mmap. Skiboot trace buffers are exported here with in the series
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1073501/. Adding mmap support makes
it possible to use the functions for reading traces in external/trace.
This improves on the current read/lseek method as it handles cases like
the buffer wrapping and overflowing.
