[PATCH] powerpc/pseries/vas: Use QoS credits from the userspace

The user can change the QoS credits dynamically with the
management console interface which notifies OS with sysfs. After
returning from the OS interface successfully, the management
console updates the hypervisor. Since the VAS capabilities in
the hypervisor is not updated when the OS gets the update,
the kernel is using the old total credits value from the
hypervisor. Fix this issue by using the new QoS credits
from the userspace instead of depending on VAS capabilities
from the hypervisor.
