[Skiboot] [PATCH 09/16] core/pci: Return slot cached power state

We should return cached power state instead of retriving it from
hardware, meaning we're allowed to have the situation: the power
is off in software, but it's on in hardware when the built-in
power control functionality is ignored for some reasons (e.g.
surprise hotplug support). Otherwise, the adapter behind the
slot won't be probed in PCI hot add path.

This returns the cached power state so that OS sees sychronized
power and PCI slot hotplug state (added/removed).
