powerpc/papr_scm: Fetch nvdimm performance stats from PHYP
Update papr_scm.c to query dimm performance statistics from PHYP via H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall and export them to user-space as PAPR specific NVDIMM attribute 'perf_stats' in sysfs. The patch also provide a sysfs ABI documentation for the stats being reported and their meanings. During NVDIMM probe time in papr_scm_nvdimm_init() a special variant of H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall is issued to check if collection of performance statistics is supported or not. If successful then a PHYP returns a maximum possible buffer length needed to read all performance stats. This returned value is stored in a per-nvdimm attribute 'stat_buffer_len'. The layout of request buffer for reading NVDIMM performance stats from PHYP is defined in 'struct papr_scm_perf_stats' and 'struct papr_scm_perf_stat'. These structs are used in newly introduced drc_pmem_query_stats() that issues the H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall. The sysfs access function perf_stats_show() uses value 'stat_buffer_len' to allocate a buffer large enough to hold all possible NVDIMM performance stats and passes it to drc_pmem_query_stats() to populate. Finally statistics reported in the buffer are formatted into the sysfs access function output buffer.
