[PATCH v3 21/24] powerpc/pseries: Pass PLPKS password on kexec

From: Russell Currey <ruscur at russell.cc>

Before interacting with the PLPKS, we ask the hypervisor to generate a
password for the current boot, which is then required for most further
PLPKS operations.

If we kexec into a new kernel, the new kernel will try and fail to
generate a new password, as the password has already been set.

Pass the password through to the new kernel via the device tree, in
/chosen/plpks-pw. Check for the presence of this property before trying
to generate a new password - if it exists, use the existing password and
remove it from the device tree.
