[Skiboot] [PATCH v2] core/init: Add ibm, processor-storage-keys property to /cpus DT node.

LoPAPR says:

    “ibm,processor-storage-keys”

    property name indicating the number of virtual storage keys supported
    by the processor described by this node.

    prop-encoded-array: Consists of two cells encoded as with encode-int.
    The first cell represents the number of virtual storage keys supported
    for data accesses while the second cell represents the number of
    virtual storage keys supported for instruction accesses. The cell value
    of zero indicates that no storage keys are supported for the access
    type.

pHyp provides the property above but there's a bug in P8 firmware where the
second cell is zero even though POWER8 supports instruction access keys.
This bug will be fixed for P9.

While this is a PAPR property, it's useful to have it in powernv as well
so that Linux has a uniform way of checking for the feature regardless of
the platform it's running on.

On PAPR there is one property for each CPU node, but since it's highly
unlikely that different CPUs will support a different number of keys, we
put the property in the /cpus node instead.

Tested on QEMU POWER8 powernv model and Mambo P9.
