[RFC PATCH] powerpc/papr_scm: Implement scm async flush

[Shivaprasad G Bhat <sbhat@linux.ibm.com>]

Tha patch implements SCM async-flush hcall and sets the
ND_REGION_ASYNC capability when the platform device tree
has "ibm,async-flush-required" set.

The below demonstration shows the map_sync behavior when
ibm,async-flush-required is present in device tree.
(https://github.com/avocado-framework-tests/avocado-misc-tests/blob/master/memory/ndctl.py.data/map_sync.c)

The pmem0 is from nvdimm without async-flush-required,
and pmem1 is from nvdimm with async-flush-required, mounted as
/dev/pmem0 on /mnt1 type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,dax=always,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota)
/dev/pmem1 on /mnt2 type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,dax=always,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota)

#./mapsync /mnt1/newfile    ----> Without async-flush-required
#./mapsync /mnt2/newfile    ----> With async-flush-required
Failed to mmap  with Operation not supported

The HCALL semantics are in review, not final.
