[PATCH] powerpc/papr_scm: Fix leaking nvdimm_events_map elements

Right now 'char *' elements allocated individual 'stat_id' in
'papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map' during papr_scm_pmu_check_events() leak in
papr_scm_remove() and papr_scm_pmu_register(), papr_scm_pmu_check_events() error
paths.

Also individual 'stat_id' arent NULL terminated 'char *' instead they are fixed
8-byte sized identifiers. However papr_scm_pmu_register() assumes it to be a
NULL terminated 'char *' and at other places it assumes it to be a
'papr_scm_perf_stat.stat_id' sized string which is 8-byes in size.

Fix this by allocating the memory for papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map to also
include space for 'stat_id' entries. This is possible since number of available
events/stat_ids are known upfront. This saves some memory and one extra level of
indirection from 'nvdimm_events_map' to 'stat_id'. Also rest of the code
can continue to call 'kfree(papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map)' without needing to
iterate over the array and free up individual elements.

Also introduce a new typedef called 'state_id_t' thats a 'u8[8]' and can be used
across papr_scm to deal with stat_ids.
