[PATCH] powerpc/pseries: new lparcfg key/value pair: partition_affinity_score

The H_GetPerformanceCounterInfo PHYP hypercall has a subcall,
Affinity_Domain_Info_By_Partition, which returns, among other things,
a "partition affinity score" for a given LPAR.  This score, a value on
[0-100], represents the processor-memory affinity for the LPAR in
question.  A score of 0 indicates the worst possible affinity while a
score of 100 indicates perfect affinity.  The score can be used to
reason about performance.

This patch adds the score for the local LPAR to the lparcfg procfile
under a new 'partition_affinity_score' key.

The H_GetPerformanceCounterInfo hypercall is already used elsewhere in
the kernel, in powerpc/perf/hv-gpci.c.  Refactoring that code and this
code into a more general API might be worthwhile if additional modules
require the hypercall in the future.
