powerpc/pseries: Add support for hash table resizing
This adds support for using two hypercalls to change the size of the main hash page table while running as a PAPR guest. For now these hypercalls are only in experimental qemu versions. The interface is two part: first H_RESIZE_HPT_PREPARE is used to allocate and prepare the new hash table. This may be slow, but can be done asynchronously. Then, H_RESIZE_HPT_COMMIT is used to switch to the new hash table. This requires that no CPUs be concurrently updating the HPT, and so must be run under stop_machine(). This also adds a debugfs file which can be used to manually control HPT resizing or testing purposes.
